80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.

@EUCommission I just talked about 80 years of peace in Europe with my kids. It's unique for Europe to live in peace that long. But maybe that's also the reason we ignore the suffering caused by war as no one is around anymore telling you stories about how it was 80 years ago.

@lordkhan @EUCommission I think we are mostly afraid. Peace is fragile, and talking and make yourself aware takes guts.
We must realise we are many who wants peace. We shouldn't go alone.
