Introduction

To serve as Secretary-General of the United Nations is to occupy one of the world’s foremost bully pulpits. Throughout my tenure, I sought to make ample use of this unique platform – from the General Assembly Hall to houses of parliament, from the Security Council Chamber to classrooms, clinics and refugee camps across the world. I sought to assure the vulnerable that the United Nations is on their side; to mobilize civil society groups to play their indispensable role; and to put before world leaders sensible proposals for tackling the challenges of our time.
