Ban says fighting in Syria is biggest security challenge to us


NNA - UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, said the war occurring in Syria is the biggest security challenge in front of UN.



Ban's words came Tuesday in the context of a message he delivered on the occasion of UN Day falling on October 24. Ban's message is the following:



United Nations Day is a chance to recognize how much this invaluable Organization contributes to peace and common progress.



It is a time to reflect on what more we can do to realize our vision for a better world.



The fighting in Syria is our biggest security challenge.



Millions of people depend on UN humanitarian personnel for life-saving assistance.



UN experts are working hand-in-hand with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to destroy Syria's stockpiles.



And we are pushing for a diplomatic solution to end suffering that has gone on far too long.


Our most urgent development challenge is to make sustainability a reality.



The Millennium Development Goals have cut poverty in half.



Now we must maintain the momentum, craft an equally inspiring post-2015 development agenda and reach an agreement on climate change.



This year again, we saw the United Nations come together on armed conflict, human rights, the environment and many other issues.



We continue to show what collective action can do. We can do even more.



In a world that is more connected, we must be more united.



On United Nations Day, let us pledge to live up to our founding ideals and work together for peace, development and human rights.
