Appello del Segretario Generale ONU, António Guterres, per un cessate il fuoco in presenza di COVID-19
Il 23 marzo 2020, il Segretario Generale dell’ONU, António Guterres, ha diffuso questa dichiarazione :
Il nostro mondo sta affrontando un nemico comune: COVID-19.
Al virus non interessa la nazionalità o l’etnia, la fazione o il credo religioso. Attacca tutte le persone, senza pietà.
Intanto, i conflitti armati continuano furiosamente nel mondo.
I più vulnerabili – donne e bambini, portatori di handicap, emarginati e deportati – pagano il prezzo più alto. Essi sono anche i più indifesi contro le perdite distruttive causate dal COVID-19.
