The president of our Foundation was one of the keynote speakers at the International Summit on Human Rights of the UN last Friday, June 28, in front of dozens of young people.
Invited by the non-profit organization Youth for Human Rights International (Youth for Human Rights) Guillermo Whpei spoke about peace, about the current challenges that we face to make this world a better place and the central role played by youth in the change. With his speech sought to incite reflection on issues that have naturalized and should be visibilizadas with urgency: the inequality, extreme poverty, urban violence, slavery contemporary.
That's where each one of us is important, because the construction of peace is born from an individual decision, but contributes to a building that must be collective. Because we understand that not only a president, the United Nations, or a Nobel Prize for Peace can build peace. Each and every one of us can do it. It is a decision that is reflected in a host of small daily attitudes. Our president appealed to every one of the young people present to become ambassadors of peace, the agents of change are indispensable if we want a world less violent, more just, more inclusive, where respect is the rule.
