The future of peace and prosperity that we seek for all the world's peoples needs a foundation of tolerance, security, equality and justice.

When things are really desperate and hopeless and you can't do anything about this, and there's a sense that something must be done, that is something usually leads to the U.N.

...let us continue to work together to develop and nurture in future generations a culture of human rights, to promote freedom, security and peace in all nations.

The World is not ours to keep. We hold it in trust for future generations.

On this International Day of Peace, let us dare to imagine a world free of conflict and violence

Not only do these abominable weapons lie buried in silence and in their millions waiting to kill or maim innocent women and children; but the presence or even the fear of the presence of a single landmine can prevent the cultivation of an entire field, rob a whole village of its livelihood, place yet another obstacle on a country's road to reconstruction and development

We must restore the sacredness of the family as a bedrock of humane values everywhere, in peace as well as in war.
