The UN Charter is the foundation of international relations – the bedrock of peace, sustainable development, and human rights.

When leaders run roughshod over international law – when they pick and choose which rules to follow – they are not only undermining global order, they are setting a perilous precedent.
When a handful of individuals can bend global narratives, sway elections, or dictate the terms of public debate, we are not just facing inequality – we are facing the corruption of institutions and our shared values.
The United Nations Charter is a compact which binds us all.
All countries must adhere to it, fully and faithfully.
