UN General Assembly
2014

Only by working together, in a partnership in which all States Members of the United Nations are truly equal, regardless of their level of political and economic development or geographic location, can we achieve peace and security for all — a peace that is free from fear and violence and meets the needs of future generations. I would like to end by quoting Nelson Mandela, who said: “People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If we approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say we want peace, we want stability, we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society”.
