He also emphasized the importance of protecting human rights, supporting those in need, and spreading a message of hope.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric conveyed the Secretary-General’s message.
Dujarric said that, according to the Secretary-General, Ramadan is a sacred time of self-restraint and prayer, reflecting a powerful vision of hope and peace. However, he noted that for many people around the world, this vision remains out of reach.
“From Afghanistan to Yemen, from Gaza to Sudan and other devastated regions, people continue to suffer from war, hunger, displacement, and inequality,” Dujarric said.
He added that during these difficult and deeply divided times, the Secretary-General is calling on people to embrace the true spirit of Ramadan—by overcoming divisions, assisting the poor, and safeguarding the rights and dignity of every individual.
The Secretary-General expressed hope that the holy month would inspire the world to move toward a more peaceful, generous, and just future.
