Fight against discrimination
Ban Ki-moon has repeatedly spoken in public in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and the fight for equal rights for all is a core mission of the United Nations, and he is a strong supporter of the campaign for equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
48 - [49]
Ban Ki-moon promoted the United Nations to formulate the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development, promote countries to reach the Paris Agreement on climate change, Ban Ki-moon urged the United Nations to save money, and actively build green office space.
[12]
Ban Ki-moon called for a World Humanitarian Summit, calling on world leaders to make a new commitment and act with greater political will to further expand the scale and scope of humanitarian assistance to build a more secure and stable world. For its part, the United Nations will commit to improving its analysis of the risk factors that drive conflict, to sounding timely alarms for defensive action, and to reviewing the capacity of its agencies, funds and programmes to ensure a coordinated and integrated approach to the root causes of violent conflict.

The only way to prevent war, promote human rights, and solve difficult problems like nuclear nonproliferation is through diplomacy. "All disputes should be resolved peacefully through diplomatic means," he insisted. In public, he carried himself with Asian modesty and understatement, but in private, he pursued good results through phone calls and secret meetings. In his view, what the UN needs is not a politician who can talk good, but a diplomat who can get things done.
[55]
In March 2007, he took to the phone to denounce Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for the human rights disaster in Darfur. He "heard the roar through the walls," one of his aides recalled. Other achievements he has made through "silent" diplomacy include securing a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur and persuading the Burmese military in 2008 to rescue half a million cyclone victims. He has also made a big difference in getting people to pay attention to climate issues.
[55]
Early in his acceptance speech, he stated his position: "Modesty is a virtue in Asia, but modesty is in conduct, not in vision and purpose." After causing an uproar by publicly criticizing the United States for not paying more than $800 million in dues to the United Nations, he apologized specifically for the incident. But shortly after his apology, the United States paid its peacekeeping obligations, and the House of Representatives voted to pay the rest.
[55]
In January 2007, Ban Ki-moon introduced the reform of UN personnel appointment and removal, requiring that the term of office of relevant UN posts be uniformly changed to five years, that all posts be subject to strict performance evaluation every year, and that financial disclosure be made to the outside world. While his reforms were not popular at UN headquarters in New York, they were popular with the UN in other parts of the world and were praised by UN observers. Ban's proposal to split peacekeeping into operations and weapons was finally adopted by the UN in March 2007.

Ban Ki-moon and his wife
Ryu Chuntaek
They have a son and two daughters. The two met in high school. At that time, Yoo was the president of the student union at Chungju Girls High School, a school adjacent to Ban s high school. Before his visit to the United States in 1962 as a representative of Korean students, Ban Ki-moon had trouble finding a suitable gift. Liu Chunze gave him the lucky bag made by the girls in home economics class. Ban's gift was well received in the United States, and the two bonded. After Ban went to Seoul National University, Yoo went to Chung-Ang University in Seoul, and they married in Seoul in 1971.

Your actions are not only deplorable, they are deplorable... Your behavior is unprecedented, and I think you should be ashamed of it personally.

(Inga-Britt Allenius, Swedish diplomat, Head of the United Nations Internal Affairs Oversight Service)

Some say that Ban Ki-moon's stance on security is to win the support of conservative forces, and it is worth paying attention to whether his actions will affect public opinion. According to a survey conducted by Gallup Korea on Wednesday, Moon Jae-in, former leader of the main opposition Minjoo Party, led the poll for the next presidential election with 31 percent support, followed by Ban Ki-moon with 20 percent.
