The misconception that a victory can be worth its price, has in the nuclear age become a total illusion.

I have, despite all disillusionment, never, never allowed myself to feel like giving up. This is my message today; it is not worthy of a human being to give up.

It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a "remedy", more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women.

All mankind is now learning that these nuclear weapons can only serve to destroy, never become beneficial.

First and foremost arms are tools in the service of rival nations, pointing at the possibility of a future war.

The age in which we live can only be characterized as one of barbarism. Our civilization is in the process not only of being militarized, but also being brutalized.

It's not worthy o human beings to give up.
