The Elders welcome the Iran-USA talks in Oman this Saturday.

We reaffirm the vital role of diplomacy over military action to address Iran's nuclear programme.

Full quote ⬇️
“A deal will require understanding, flexibility and respect from both parties. Failure could be disastrous. Lasting peace would be a huge achievement.” - Juan Manuel Santos, Chair of The Elders “Elders welcome the Iran-USA talks in Oman this Saturday. We reaffirm the vital role of diplomacy over military action to address Iran's nuclear programme. A negotiated agreement could benefit both sides and the region, confirming that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons, offering vital sanctions relief for its people, and strengthening regional stability. The diplomatic window is narrow. A deal will require understanding, flexibility and respect from both parties. Failure could be disastrous. Lasting peace would be a huge achievement.” - Juan Manuel Santos, Chair of The Elders, Former President of Colombia, Nobel Peace Laureate

As #Myanmar’s people suffer the devastating effects of the recent earthquake, Ban Ki-moon condemns continued air strikes by the military regime against civilian targets and urges all parties, including regional states, to cooperate to provide full humanitarian access.
Myanmar Earthquake “The earthquake in Myanmar is a dreadful blow to an already beleaguered country beset by civil war, repression and isolation. I am alarmed by reports that the military regime has breached a temporary ceasefire and is continuing to attack civilian targets. Now is the time for all parties, including regional states, to cooperate in providing full humanitarian access to those in need... Ban Ki-moon Deputy Chair of The Elders Myanmar Earthquake “I welcome the recent call by the Foreign Ministers of Malaysia and Thailand for an extension of the current temporary ceasefire, and urge both the regime in Naypyidaw and the opposition forces to agree. This should serve as a precursor to wider inclusive dialogue to resolve the conflict in Myanmar in line with the ASEAN Five-Point Consensus plan.” Ban Ki-moon Deputy Chair of The Elders
