Following is UN Secretary-General António Guterres' message on the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize 2025:
I congratulate Maria Corina Machado on being awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
For decades, Ms. Machado has been a champion of democracy and a voice of unity in her country of Venezuela.
In its statement, the Nobel Committee reminded us that the tools of democracy are the tools of peace.
At a time when democracy and the rule of law are under threat globally, today's prize is a tribute to all those working to safeguard civil and political rights around the world and a stirring reminder of the resilience and power of the democratic spirit.
