Sustainable Development Goal 16 focuses on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. People everywhere need to be free of fear from all forms of violence and feel safe as they go about their lives whatever their ethnicity, faith or sexual orientation.
As COVID-19 threatened to amplify and exploit fragilities across the globe, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called on warring parties to lay down their weapons in support of the bigger battle against the deadly virus. Governments have been urged to be transparent, responsive and accountable in their COVID-19 response, and ensure that any emergency measures are legal, proportionate, necessary and non-discriminatory.
