The Week in Review - 27 January 2017

We need a global response that addresses the root causes of conflict.
Our priority is prevention. But the best means of prevention,
and of sustaining peace, is inclusive and sustainable development.
It is incumbent upon us to reach out to all of those people affected by conflict and fragility,
and invest financially and intellectually in sustaining peace across our world.
We can never remain silent or indifferent when human beings are suffering.
We must always defend the vulnerable and bring tormentors to justice.
After the horrors of the 20th century, there should be no room for intolerance in the 21st.
I guarantee you that as Secretary-General of the United Nations,
I will be in the frontline of the battle against anti-Semitism and all other forms of hatred.
We are deeply concerned about the safety and humanitarian conditions of people
who remain in ISIL-occupied western Mosul city
which, it is estimated, could be as many as 750,000.
Nearly 600,000 people have received food, 745,000 people have benefited from water
and sanitation support and 370,000 people have sought medical care.
85 per cent of the people displaced from Mosul are staying in displacement camps and emergency sites
constructed by the government and international partners.
