UN Secretary-General on attacks in London
Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on attacks in London
The Secretary-General strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in London last night. He expresses his condolences to the families of the victims and wishes the injured a swift recovery. He hopes that those responsible for this unjustifiable violence will be quickly found and brought to justice.
The Secretary-General expresses his
solidarity with the people and the Government of the United
Kingdom as they fight terrorism and violent extremism. This
is a struggle in many parts of the globe that compels the
international community to join up efforts to bring to
justice those who use such inhuman tactics while also
protecting and promoting the fundamental values, rights and
principles that terrorists so fervently seek to
undermine.
