UN General Assembly
2007

addresses the challenges of our times. The States members of the General Assembly are more aware than ever that only through united action in solidarity can we meet these challenges effectively by using political dialogue, preventive diplomacy and public and humanitarian diplomacy. Spain sees the situation as positive. In that regard I would quote the Spanish poet Blas de Otero: “I ask for peace and I ask to speak ... in defence of man and his justice”. That means a commitment to action, not rhetoric.
