Ban Ki-moon says post-war healing in Lanka has deepened
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his address at the 71st annual debate United Nations General Assembly noted that post-war healing efforts have deepened in Sri Lanka.
He said that in Sri Lanka and Myanmar true reconciliation rests ensuring that all communities, minorities and majorities alike are included in building a new union.
He called on world leaders to recognize that the important positions they hold are a reflection of the trust the people have in them and “not personal property.”
“My message to all is clear: serve your people. Do not subvert democracy; do not pilfer your country’s resources; do not imprison and torture your critics,” Mr. Ban said in his opening address to leaders at the UN’s member countries of the UN.
“We have the means to prevent conflict. We have the potential to close the gap between rich and poor, and to make rights real in people’s lives,” he said.
