New York City, United States of America: Botswana shall not falter where the United Nations’ Charter is concerned and if need be, she will go an extra mile to protect the world peoples against impunity, so said the President Mokgweetsi Masisi in his maiden address to the General Assembly.

He said Botswana continues as a stickler to the rule of law, good governance and an excellent track record for upholding human rights, tenets that the UN was built upon. As a democracy that is anchored on republican constitutionalism, Botswana has recently seen the fifth transition of power in a smooth fashion unlike in many parts of the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, he told the assembly.

Masisi applauded the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals to end suffering, poverty, disease and autocracy in the whole wide world, saying no human beings should be left behind when these developments are being fashioned out. He however said, there continues to be room for improvement especially in Africa where millions still go hungry, know abject poverty and are ravaged by diseases because there are no safety nets for social protection.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
