In particular, I thank Her Excellency Ms. Susan Shabangu, Minister in the South African Presidency Responsible for Women, and His Excellency, Guillaume Long, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility of Ecuador, who will be addressing the General Assembly later today<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Excellencies, <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As we look around our world, it is challenging to us all to see just how far we are from winning the global fight against racism, xenophobia and related intolerance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Despite global migration long being a feature of human history, and despite the exigencies of forcible displacement having driven large numbers of people from their homes, refugees and migrants are too often being received these days in conditions of suspicion, fear and intolerance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At a time when the world needs to call on its reserves of empathy and common humanity as we respond to the largest humanitarian and refugee crisis since World War II, we are instead too often witnessing hate crimes against immigrant asylum seekers, attacks against places of worship, and threats directly targeting migrants and minority groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In such circumstances we must reaffirm our faith in the <em>International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, <\/em>more than 50 years after its adoption by the General Assembly, along with our commitment to the <em>Durban Declaration and Programme of Action<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Excellencies,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In these challenging times, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights calls on us to <em>stand up against<\/em> racism, xenophobia and hate wherever we encounter them. And people of conscience should <em>stand up for<\/em> pluralism and cross-cultural understanding, whenever the opportunity allows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Across the globe, it is incumbent upon political leaders to role-model tolerant and respectful attitudes towards migrants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We need to promote cross-cultural education in our schools, to foster respect for diversity. and understanding of the positive contribution refugees and migrants make to our societies and economies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most critically of all, we need to fully support implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to secure a safer, more sustainable and prosperous future for all, one which will relieve many of the root causes driving people from their homes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This includes by eliminating extreme poverty, building peaceful and inclusive societies, increasing prosperity, reducing inequality, improving access to education, combating climate change, and protecting our natural environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally, we must use the historic opportunity of the forthcoming negotiations on a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration to affirm universal respect for the rights of migrants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Excellencies,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I conclude with a quotation from South Africa\u2019s most famous son, Nelson Mandela, who once said <em>\u201cNo one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I thank you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As delivered Statement by H.E.
