In fact, just one week before the opening of the 66th session the UN General Assembly, during which the Palestinian Authority is expected to call the international community to formally recognise a Palestinian State, the UN Communications chief called on all “those involved in traditional and social media to explore how they can help foster a climate conducive to peace in the Middle East.”
“It is important to remember that peace is not something that politicians alone can create. Journalists and artists have a critical role,” said Kiyo Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information.
