In a strongly worded statement, the UN Chief pointed to a disturbing groundswell of intolerance and hate-based violence in the aftermath of an attack on a synagogue in the United States inwhere a gunman opened fire on Saturday; killing a 60-year-old woman and injuring three others.

The attack took place exactly six months after a similar attack at a synagogue that left 11 dead in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania., armed attackers killed five worshippers in a church in the small northern town of Silgadji over this past weekend. Guterres says the UN has begun devising a plan to tackle hate speech while exploring how better the organisation’s system can be used to help ensure the safety of religious sanctuaries.
