A remarkable achievement. Today, we are faced with the global problem of refugees and displaced persons. Our humanitarian obligations remain - to care and to act. The integration of ethnic or religious minorities in our societies is of immense importance. But even if we are able to cope with our refugees, we will only have dealt with part of the problem.
Refugees are refugees for a reason.
And most often, the reason is tragic. We are responsible for sowing the seeds in order to secure the coming generations' proper contribution to civil and civilised society. Our aim is to instil the 'courage to care' and 'the will to act' in future generations. These are our obligations. May we all have the courage to care - and the will to act.
