Together, participants explored how global migration processes can remain people-centered and inclusive, even in times when compassion and cooperation feel tested.

Hope grows when we listen, learn, and act together. quno.org/newsroom/inc...

Revisit the spirit of the UN Charter on this 80th anniversary here: www.un.org/en/about-us/...

QUNO has represented #Quaker values at the UN since shortly after its inception and we hope to continue to lift up voices of communities worldwide to guide the organization and its collaborators well into the future.

At a time when the world feels more polarized, it is vital to remember this legacy of international cooperation, what it has accomplished, and the hope it can still inspire. Look back at 80 years of the UN's history here: www.un.org/en/about-us/...

We continue to call on the international community to act; to use diplomacy to implement a permanent #ceasefire, to ensure access to humanitarian aid, to hold responsible parties accountable, and to conduct any steps toward peace with a mind toward justice and healing.

Rather than trying to encapsulate this tragedy in our voice, we at QUNO hope readers will take time to see and hear it in the voices of those who live it. inthesetimes.com/article/gaza...

In these powerful stories, we are called to witness the human impact this cycle of violence has had, from individual families to broad communities. www.trtworld.com/article/a5e4...

While words fail to capture the magnitude of human suffering this chapter of conflict has wrought on the region, the words of those directly impacted must be heeded so that action can be taken to end the violence and build toward peace.

Hundreds of people still remain in captivity as hostages or detainees, thousands are at risk of famine, and nearly 2 million are displaced. We continue to hold these people and their communities, familial and otherwise, in the Light.

In a timely reflection, FWCC's Tim Gee has published a piece in @sightmagazine that calls for the love of neighbours to transcend national and cultural boundaries in seeking peace in #Palestine: sightmagazine.com.au/essays/essay...

Our community at @globalquakers.bsky.social invite all to join an online worship session to reflect on this theme and come together with Friends from all around the world on 11 October: fwcc.world/event/americ...

In an increasingly polarized world, QUNO’s work in peacebuilding, climate justice, and human rights embodies this call, building foundations for peace by loving our global neighbour. From our Meeting Houses to the community of the United Nations, may this love be a guiding Light.
