The United Nations is committed to strengthening tolerance by fostering mutual understanding among cultures and peoples. This imperative lies at the core of the United Nations Charter as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and is more important than ever with the COVID-19 pandemic leading to increased instances of hatred, xenophobia and discrimination online and offline, and people marching to demand an end to racism in cities around the world.
Tolerance is harmony in difference. It is not only a cherished virtue that makes peace possible, but also a necessity for the economic and social advancement of all people.
