On 23 September 2025, Her Excellency Nataša Pirc Musar, President of Slovenia, addressed the General Debate at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Excerpt from Nataša Pirc Musar’s UNGA 80 Speech…
“If we, the leaders of this planet, can offer nothing but terror, conflict, pollution, fear, inequality, and war to millions of people, then we must face the truth: we are complicit in crimes against our civilization and our planet. None of us can claim ignorance of what is happening. If we believe in human dignity for all, we must offer more - a world that has life, not one that threatens us. Let us show that this General Assembly can and must make a difference.
Let us show that we reject arrogance, hatred, and willful blindness in the face of injustice and wars of aggression. We did not stop the Holocaust, we did not stop the genocide in Rwanda, we did not stop the genocide in Srebrenica. We must stop the genocide in Gaza. There are no excuses anymore. None.”
