For every staffer of the United Nations family, the Mandela speech by Mr Guterres was powerful and inspirational. I am proud to have been part of the United Nations response to complex humanitarian challenges. Many factors have sometimes stymied the United Nations’ work. In Kenya, the country’s President, Uhuru Kenyatta is spearheading the charge to eradicate female genital mutilation supported by the United Nations. Those farsighted leaders who founded the United Nations 75 years ago gave us the momentum to propel humanity to greater security and prosperity.
