UN General Assembly
2000

A changed world needs a changed United Nations — an Organization for today's world. We need to demonstrate courage and determination in order to preserve the United Nations as the world's most universal forum. Its founding fathers spoke about the scourge of war. Today the United Nations will only live up to the global reality if it cannot only free the world's people from the scourge of war but also save succeeding generations from the scourge of poverty. May Bangladesh live forever. May the United Nations live forever.
