| Commonwealth Youth Forum Opening ceremony: Statement by Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations |
|
|
|
Entebbe, Uganda
I am very excited to be back in Uganda. Last year I was here in April when I had the privilege to address the commonwealth meeting on Africa’s urbanization crisis.
It is an honor and a privilege for me to be here with you today at this Commonwealth Youth Forum
I wish to congratulate the Commonwealth Youth Council for organizing this youth forum which will provide a platform for young people to contribute to the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Heads of Government agendas. I am pleased that this forum also provides an independent platform for youth representatives to consider their agenda at the same time as the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting.

UN-HABITAT Headquarters, Nairobi, Kenya,
I am Jason Bellone, Chief of the Information and Communications Technology Section at the UN Office in Geneva.

|
|
Barcelona
As we discuss the issue of preventing man made disasters and natural
disasters, it is natural for me to focus on the first part -the man made
disasters -because that is where my own personal experience is from. In the
course of the years I have been engaged in trouble shooting in Africa and Asia.
Europeans, too, are perfectly able of generating manmade disasters
even in our own time and some of my experience comes from Europe.

Beirut, Lebanon
It is indeed an honour to be here with you today on my first visit to Lebanon. The excellent and warm hospitality that I have witnessed since my arrival is only paralleled by the dynamism I have seen in all aspects of daily life and the numerous achievements in urban renewal, housing construction and local economic development. The reconstruction of Beirut and of Lebanon, in such a short period of time, is nothing short of impressive. Like a Phoenix from the ashes, it demonstrates that where there is a will there is a way.

| Address to the International Conference on The Age of Connectivity – Harnessing the Generations |
|
|
|
I wish to open my remarks by saying thank you to International Council for Caring Communities for calling this important conference. A century ago, we did not live as long as we do today because we did not live as well. We did not have the social, medical, and political means, let alone the basic human rights many of us - but by no means all - enjoy today. And the world was far tougher. It is wonderful that so many more of us can expect to live to a ripe old age now. Perhaps by the year 2050, and fifty years beyond, we may be able to take a longer life more for granted. Certainly we will have better technology.

Delhi, India
It is with great pleasure that I address the concluding session of the launch of the campaign for good urban governance in India. This event has been a resounding success and I wish to thank all those persons, both behind and in front of the scenes, who have made this event possible. The effort involved in conceptualising and organising such an event is considerable and I can appreciate the sacrifices of time and personal convenience that have been made. In my opening speech I particularly mentioned the staff from the Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation.

| World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance |
|

Durban, South Africa
The World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, presents a unique opportunity for us to think of all the people around the world, who have been struggling for the defeat of all kinds of discrimination. The victorious fight of the people of South Africa against the apartheid system gives us hope to consider that racism and all kinds of institutionalized discrimination can be successfully fought and eradicated from our human settlements.
