UN General Assembly
2018

As each cause will have its effect, and each effect continues to transform itself into yet another cause, we know that working for world peace is a constant obligation. This is because it has not yet fully taken root in the heart of every human being. As a father and a grandfather, I know that there will be no peace, if we do not inculcate the proper values throughout our peoples’ lives. I know that kindness, for example, is not a matter of public interest, and civility, honesty and transparency are not subjects taught in schools and universities, but they must be instilled in the hearts of all human beings. Otherwise, we will never lay the foundations for a peaceful coexistence — the very goal of our Organization, which welcomes us today.
