7. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations:
“After the Holocaust, the world seemed eager to find a more cooperative path. The founding of the United Nations was one expression of that moment. The UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Genocide Convention enshrined a commitment to equality and human rights. Humankind dared to believe that tribal identities would diminish in importance. We were wrong.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations:
“Today, we see anti-Semitism, along with racism, xenophobia, anti-Muslim hatred and other forms of intolerance, triggered by populism. And I am extremely concerned at the discrimination faced by minorities, refugees and migrants across the world. I find the stereotyping of Muslims deeply troubling. A “new normal” of public disclosure [discourse] is taking hold, in which prejudice is given a free pass and the door is opened to even more extreme hatred.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Danny Danon, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations:
“An anti-Semitic incidents rise throughout much of the world, this body must take a leading role. This is why we are asking that the Secretary-general appoint a special envoy who will oversee the UN’s efforts to combat anti-Semitism. Such an appointment would send a much louder message than any word possibly can.”

Speaking at the Holocaust memorial ceremony today (27 Jan) in New York, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was “extremely concerned at the discrimination faced by minorities, refugees and migrants across the world.”
Guterres also said “I find the stereotyping of Muslims deeply troubling.”
Addressing delegates, he said that after the Holocaust “the world seemed eager to find a more cooperative path” and that humankind “dared to believe that tribal identities would diminish in importance. We were wrong.”
Guterres said that “today, we see anti-Semitism, along with racism, xenophobia, anti-Muslim hatred and other forms of intolerance, triggered by populism,”
Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon called upon the Secretary-General to “appoint a special envoy who will oversee the UN’s efforts to combat anti-Semitism.”
He said “such an appointment would send a much louder message than any word possibly can.”
Beyond the millions of Jews killed, hundreds of thousands of others, including Roma, Slavs, disabled people, homosexuals, Jehovah’s witnesses, communists and other political dissidents are estimated to have perished in the camps.
The General Assembly in 2005 designated 27 January, the date of the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, the largest and most notorious of all of the concentration camps, as the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.
