On Friday, 9 September 2022 at 5:45pm EST, the UN Chamber Music Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council (UNCMS) will perform a music programme to honour the victims of terrorism, during the High-level Closing Plenary and Memorial Ceremony of the First United Nations Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism.
The United Nations Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism, convened under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, will provide a platform for victims of terrorism to directly share experiences, challenges, stories of their resilience, and contributions to wider society in a socially connected environment and to advocate for the strengthening and upholding of their rights and effective fulfilment of their needs. The Congress will allow the audience to learn about good practices undertaken by Member States and civil society organizations, while ensuring that victims’ voices are heard and that their experiences shape the way forward in their own countries and across borders.
Founded in 2016, the UN Chamber Music Society is dedicated to promoting the United Nations’ goals and values at large - through the universal language of music.
