"We need a global ceasefire, at a minimum. We need your help to extend the call made in Resolution 2532 for a humanitarian pause for the duration of the vaccine delivery and administration," Fore said.
Fore urged all United Nations member states to support the call and make sure that everyone is included in the national vaccination plans.
In addition, Fore called for assistance to be provided to restart stalled immunization campaigns for other diseases.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has repeatedly said that all hostilities worldwide should cease in order to direct joint efforts toward combating the novel coronavirus pandemic.
