Peace is far more than the absence of conflict. It is the presence of restraint of power by law. It is the recognition, as enshrined in the @unitednations Charter, that force cannot be the final arbiter of whose lives, rights and future matter. Today that principle is under profound strain. Amid increasing conflicts around the world, my message to world leaders at the General Assembly today: We must defend the Charter without double standards, protect civilians without exception, ensure humanitarian access without obstruction, shield humanitarian personnel without fail, advance nuclear non‑proliferation and disarmament without delay, and demand accountability without fear or favour. #UNGA
