“…The fury of the virus illustrates the folly of war.
“End the sickness of war and fight the disease that is ravaging our world.
“That is why today, I am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world.
It is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the true fight of our lives.
“To warring parties, I say: Pull back from hostilities. Put aside mistrust and animosity.
Silence the guns; stop the artillery; end the airstrikes.
This is crucial…To help create corridors for life-saving aid.
To open precious windows for diplomacy.
To bring hope to places among the most vulnerable to COVID-19…”
António Guterres, UN Secretary General
