UN General Assembly
2017

We also support the reinforcement of the human rights dimension within all relevant areas of United Nations activities. That is why I welcome the Secretary- General’s Human Rights up Front initiative, which aims to mainstream human rights policies throughout the United Nations system. Earlier today, I had the pleasure of organizing a debate on a very important topic — making education for peace. The use of identity fears and of the us- versus-them paradigm cannot be left unanswered. In the context of increasing violence and disinformation, Romania is convinced that it is only through quality education that we can counter the extremist trends that our young people are facing today.
