Saturday, we ran for the SDGs. Every day, we must turn commitment into action and investment in children.
This #UNDay, we salute those championing children’s rights. Every step counts. No child left behind.

What a proud moment for the global human rights movement! Thank you, Navi Pillay, our former UN Human Rights Chief and 2026 @NobelPrize Peace laureate. Navi's career has traced a remarkable arc in the global struggle for universal human rights, from the fight against apartheid to the defence of civilians in conflict zones. Throughout her life’s work, she has spoken truth to power, championing the principle that human rights belong to everyone, everywhere. Learn more: lnkd.in/eStk4RgD

For decades, Navi Pillay has been a champion of international law and human rights, and a steadfast, independent voice of justice amidst some of the most historic international legal cases of our time.
I warmly congratulate her on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
