The Kofi Annan Geneva Peace Address, a cornerstone event of Geneva Peace Week, catalyses crucial dialogues on peace through the perspectives of global leaders. This annual address highlights transformative ideas and fosters international cooperation.
The Challenge
In a world where peace is often threatened by nationalistic agendas and unresolved conflicts, the Geneva Peace Address provides a vital platform for promoting global dialogue and understanding. It underscores the need for continuous, open discussions on peace to navigate and resolve international tensions.
“Peace must be sought, above all, because it is the condition for every member of the human family to live a life of dignity and security.”
Kofi Annan
