UN General Assembly
2023

The generations that came before us took on the responsibility of making our nations independent; establishing democracies, fundamental freedoms and universal human rights; and progressively advancing in the conquest of social rights. My generation — one that was not yet born at the time of the 1973 coup d’etat — has the no less difficult task of consolidating and defending many of those legacies, while at the same time facing new threats and challenges with optimism. Today I wish to raise three urgent tasks to address that, in my homeland, we humbly believe coincide with much of what has been spoken about in this Hall today.
