"Equality is not a dream.  It is a decision. If the United Nations can change: So can Governments. So can Parliaments. So can businesses. So can peace processes. And so can this General Assembly," said the Secretary-General, and continued: "After ten years, I hold one conviction even more strongly than when I arrived: The greatest power is not the power to dominate. It is the power to build a future that works for everyone. [...] I will keep championing the conviction that peace is possible. That human dignity is universal. That the power of law must prevail over the law of power. And that our common future is worth fighting for. I will continue to stand up for the values of the United Nations Charter. And I will never… ever give up."António Costa, President of the European Council, briefs reporters following the co-hosted High-Level event on Partners for Multilateralism (P4M).A wide view of the General Assembly Hall as Secretary-General António Guterres (at podium and on screens) addresses the SDG Moment 2026.
