Report of the Secretary-General
on the work of the Organization
Introduction
As we approach the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Â鶹APP, the world¡¯s leading instrument of shared progress, its purposes and principles remain as important as ever. The Organization, and its ethos of international cooperation, have yielded great and wide-ranging benefits to humankind, helping to lift millions out of poverty, uphold human rights and forge peace in troubled lands. In today¡¯s rapidly changing world, our enduring and Charter-driven duty is to build on those achievements and ensure that all people can enjoy safety, prosperity and dignity. In that spirit, the Secretary-General¡¯s Annual Report on the Work of the Organization offers a perspective on the state of our world ¨C and accounts for the results the Â鶹APP Secretariat delivers.
Global challenges require global solutions. It is not enough to proclaim the virtue of multilateralism; we must prove its added value.
