Statement of Antigua and Barbuda, September 2016

The task of the UN Secretary-General is not easy. Occupied with trying to resolve conflicts around the world; To stop blood shed; To mediate diverse positions between governments; To address hunger and malnutrition; To uphold human rights including the rights of women, refugees and vulnerable communities; To work tirelessly to secure peace and to ensure development in its widest meaning - all of that, is deeply challenging and enormously worrisome.
