International Romani Union 2022 - UN Chief Message | United Nations

Video Message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to the International Romani Union 2022.

Today, we celebrate the rich history of the Roma, Sinti and Travellers.

We recognize their contributions to societies everywhere.

And we reflect on the human rights situation of Roma worldwide.

Roma continue to confront centuries-old prejudice, discrimination, and marginalization.

I am particularly concerned about the alarming rise of hate speech and scapegoating of the Roma by right-wing extremist and xenophobic groups.

The United Nations is fully committed to working with Roma civil society and others to speak out against anti-Gypsyism and stand up for Roma inclusion and human rights.

I remind all governments of their responsibility to provide full and equal access to education, employment, housing, health care, and public services to all their people without discrimination based on race, religion or ethnicity.

Roma fleeing persecution and conflict – most immediately today from Ukraine – have the same rights and must be extended the same solidarity as other refugees.

On this International Roma Day, let us rededicate ourselves to the promotion of equality, dignity, and non-discrimination for all.

🌍🌏🌎 🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳 🇺🇳🇺🇳
All of us share this world for, but a brief moment in time.

The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart?

or
whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children?

and to respect the dignity of all human beings?? .

It's easier to start wars than to end them. 

It's easier to blame others than to look inward. 

It's easier to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. 

But we should choose the right path,
not just the easy path. 

There's one rule that lies at the heart of every religion -- that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. 

This truth transcends nations and peoples -- a belief that isn't new;

that isn't black or white or brown;
that isn't Christian or Muslim
or Jew. 

It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the hearts of billions around the world. 

It's a faith in other people,

and it's what brought me here today.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
Beauty attracts the eye but personality captures the mind . Beauty attracts the eye but personality captures the heart. Beauty attracts the eye but personality captures the soul.
To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
