聯合國的“和平使者”皆從藝術、文學、音樂和體育領域精挑細選的傑出人士，他們同意協助聯合國將全球的註意力集中到聯合國的工作上來。這是秘書長授予全球公民的最高榮譽，最初任期為兩年。在此激勵下，這些傑出人士甘願奉獻自己的時間、才智和熱忱，使人們認識到聯合國為改善全球數十億人民的生活而付出的努力。
“和平使者”通過參與公開活動、聯系國際媒體以及從事人道主義工作，來加深人們對聯合國需要每個人予以關註的理想與目標的理解。
The United Nations Messengers of Peace are distinguished individuals, carefully selected from the fields of art, literature, music and sports, who have agreed to help focus worldwide attention on the work of the United Nations. Backed by the highest honour bestowed by the Secretary-General on a global citizen for an initial period of two years, these prominent personalities volunteer their time, talent and passion to raise awareness of United Nations’ efforts to improve the lives of billions of people everywhere.
The Messengers of Peace, through their public appearances, contacts with the international media and humanitarian work, help expand understanding of how the ideals and objectives of the Organization demand everyone’s attention.
