NEW YORK (Reuters) - United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday told staff they were not banned from joining anti-racism demonstrations sweeping the United States and other countries, in a letter that aimed to clear up any confusion on the world body's guidance.
"It does not in any way indicate that staff are to remain neutral or impartial in the face of racism," Guterres wrote in a letter to staff. "To the contrary, there is no ban on personal expressions of solidarity or acts of peaceful civic engagement, provided they are carried out in an entirely private capacity."
