Secretary General's message - 2025
On this solemn day, we honour the victims and survivors of terrorism everywhere ¨C saluting their courage, acknowledging their pain, and reaffirming our enduring commitment to peace, justice, and human rights.
This year¡¯s theme, ¡°United by Hope,¡± reflects the strength of victims coming together to turn suffering into solidarity, and anguish into action.
Victims of terrorism are showing the way: supporting one another, speaking out, and championing the rights of all those affected.
I welcome the launch of the Victims of Terrorism Associations Network ¨C supported by the Â鶹APP ¨C which fosters partnership, amplifies victims¡¯ voices, and empowers them to shape decisions that affect their lives.
Governments, civil society, and the international community must match their courage ¨C by upholding victims¡¯ rights, delivering justice, and standing with them at every step of their healing journey.
United by hope, we can build a future free from terrorism, where all people live in dignity and without fear.
Ant¨®nio Guterres
