On the occasion of the International Day of Human Fraternity, observed on Saturday 4 February 2023, the United Nations Secretary-General called for renewed commitment to forge an “alliance of peace” amid a surge in hate speech, sectarianism and strife. The International Day of Human Fraternity celebrates the values that “are the glue that hold our human family together” – compassion, religious understanding, and mutual respect, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said.
