Mr. Miroslav Laj\u010d\u00e1k, President of the 72<sup>nd<\/sup> Session of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly, at\u00a0<strong>Nelson Mandela International Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Mr. Secretary-General, Madam Minister, Excellencies, Dear Colleagues and Friends, <\/em><\/p>\n<p>We are here to celebrate the legacy of Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n<p>And I want to start by being very frank.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike others in the room, I did not know Mr. Mandela personally.<\/p>\n<p>So, I will not attempt to give you my own impression of him \u2013 or talk about his personal attributes.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I want to reflect on some lessons from his life.<\/p>\n<p>They are lessons which, I think, we could all stand to learn from.<\/p>\n<p>But they are particularly crucial for those of us who work and serve under the United Nations\u2019 blue flag.<\/p>\n<p>The first is about dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson Mandela taught us that dialogue is one of the most powerful tools available to humanity.<\/p>\n<p>He knew that conflict and violence drag us back. But that talking can drive us forward.<\/p>\n<p>And he showed us that dialogue and negotiation should be pursued relentlessly \u2013 no matter how deep the divides, or strong the hurt.<\/p>\n<p>This Organisation \u2013 the United Nations &#8211; was established as a global hub for dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>It was designed to give all nations in the world a place to talk about their differences \u2013 instead of bringing them to the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>The General Assembly now includes 193 Member States.<\/p>\n<p>In it, even countries with vastly different positions or interests can sit together &#8211; sometimes side by side.<\/p>\n<p>So, when we use this forum\u2026 to talk to\u2026 to engage with\u2026 to listen to\u2026 and to learn from each other \u2013 <em>including<\/em> those we disagree with &#8211; we are honouring Nelson Mandela\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>The second lesson is about peace.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson Mandela understood that peace is not, simply, the absence of conflict.<\/p>\n<p>He knew that it must be something deeper. It must be a culture. And it must live <em>in<\/em> people \u2013 not, just, in their actions.<\/p>\n<p>And I believe President Mandela was one of the first world leaders to really draw our attention to the root causes of conflict and instability.<\/p>\n<p>Even after being elected South Africa\u2019s first black president \u2013and averting civil conflict &#8211; he refused to take peace for granted.<\/p>\n<p>He dedicated himself to the eradication of poverty. He put a huge amount of time and effort into opening up South Africa\u2019s education system. He worked to make national institutions more representative. And he prioritised reconciliation among his people.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson Mandela described peace as \u201cmore precious than diamonds or silver or gold\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So, it is clear he understood its value. And that everything must be done, to keep it alive, when there is still time.<\/p>\n<p>And I think that is a major lesson to remind ourselves of today.<\/p>\n<p>Too often we have let peace slip through our fingers. And we have waited until it was gone, to act.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are moving towards a more proactive, preventive model \u2013 which prioritises investment in peace, rather than responding to its loss.<\/p>\n<p>I saw huge support for these efforts, when world leaders came here, to talk about Sustaining Peace, in April.<\/p>\n<p>And, as we continue this work, Nelson Mandela can inspire us all.<\/p>\n<p>The third and final lesson today is about tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>When President Mandela addressed the United Nations for the first time, he reminded his audience why this Organisation was created:<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ was born out of the titanic struggle against Nazism and fascism, with their pernicious doctrines and practices of racial superiority and genocide\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And he went on to dedicate his life to making sure these phenomena could not take root, again.<\/p>\n<p>He stood up against injustice, oppression and racism.<\/p>\n<p>And he took every opportunity he had, to remind us all of our own humanity.<\/p>\n<p>I think Archbishop Desmond Tutu was right on the mark, when he described Nelson Mandela as the \u201cThe Prophet of Tolerance\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The prophet is no longer with us.<\/p>\n<p>But his teachings <em>are<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And we need them &#8211; now, more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>All over the world, we are seeing worrying rises in the trends that Nelson Mandela fought against.<\/p>\n<p>Intolerance.<\/p>\n<p>Hate.<\/p>\n<p>Inhumanity.<\/p>\n<p>Racism.<\/p>\n<p>Prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>Discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot be silent in the face of them.<\/p>\n<p>We need to push back harder \u2013 and to speak out louder &#8211; than ever.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=&#8221;3.6&#8243; author=&#8221;MIROSLAV LAJ\u010c\u00c1K&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/72\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2017\/08\/PGA72-small.jpg&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; job_title=&#8221;President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly&#8221; quote_icon_background_color=&#8221;#f5f5f5&#8243; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00aff8\">All over the world, we are seeing worrying rises in the trends that Nelson Mandela fought against.<br \/>\nIntolerance.
