The global work of the United Nations is not without reason compared to that of a family - striving for a common goal in concert with all members for a better future.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

Microfinance recognizes that ...

Microfinance recognizes that poor people are remarkable reservoirs of energy and knowledge, posing an untapped opportunity to create markets, bring people in from the margins and give them the tools with which to help themselves.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

The future of peace and prosp...

The future of peace and prosperity that we seek for all the world's peoples needs a foundation of tolerance, security, equality and justice. That foundation is the family. It is only by protecting families, from famine as well as from fragmentation, that they can prosper and contribute to the family of nations that is the United Nations.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

There can be no doubt that th...

There can be no doubt that these attacks are deliberate acts of terrorism, carefully planned and coordinated and as such I condemn them utterly. Terrorism must be fought resolutely wherever it appears.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

In an age of interdependence,...

In an age of interdependence, global citizenship - based on trust and sense of shared responsibility - is a crucial pillar of progress. At a time when more than one billion people are denied the very minimum requirements of human dignity, business cannot afford to be seen as the problem. Rather, it must work with governments and all other actors in society to mobilize global science, technology and knowledge to tackle the interlocking crises of hunger, disease, environmental degradation and conflict that are holding back the developing world.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

If globalization is to succee...

If globalization is to succeed, it must succeed for poor and rich alike. It must deliver rights no less than riches. It must provide social justice and equity no less than economic prosperity and enhanced communication.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

A hungry mind is not free, an...

A hungry mind is not free, and I felt if we were really going to make a difference and fight poverty we should at least start with the ability to feed ourselves, and the millions of Africans who don't have it.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

Education is, quite simply, peace-building by another name. It is the most effective form of defense spending there is.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

You are never too young to lead and you should never doubt your capacity to triumph where others have not.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

A developed country is one that allows all its citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

Women themselves have the right to live in dignity, in freedom from want and freedom from fear. On this International Women's Day, let us rededicate ourselves to making that a reality.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

If tolerance, respect and equity permeate family life, they will translate into values that shape societies, nations and the world.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

...let us recognize that extr...

...let us recognize that extreme poverty anywhere is a threat to human security everywhere. Let us recall that poverty is a denial of human rights. For the first time in history, in this age of unprecedented wealth and technical prowess, we have the power to save humanity from this shameful scourge. Let us summon the will to do it.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

International law now grants rights to all human beings, not only to citizens.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

We need to promote greater tolerance and understanding among the peoples of the world. Nothing can be more dangerous to our efforts to build peace and development than a world divided along religious, ethnic or cultural lines. In each nation, and among all nations, we must work to promote unity based on our shared humanity.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

It may seem sometimes as if a...

It may seem sometimes as if a culture of peace does not stand a chance against the culture of war, the culture of violence and the cultures of impunity and intolerance. Peace may indeed be a complex challenge, dependent on action in many fields and even a bit of luck from time to time. It may be a painfully slow process, and fragile and imperfect when it is achieved. But peace is in our hands. We can do it.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

It is extreme arrogance for o...

It is extreme arrogance for one to think he is the only one who can govern his country and nobody else can do it. We're all human. After 10, 15 years you get tired, you run out of steam and ideas, you have to give a chance to somebody else. And whether you yourself are inclined to stay on, all those around you are pushing you to stay on for what they will gain. One has to have the strength of character to say the time has come to move on...unless you are a king.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

In an era of global abundance...

In an era of global abundance, our world has the resources to reduce dramatically the massive divides that persist between rich and poor, if only those resources can be unleashed in the service of all peoples.

Kofi Annan 247 quotes

If you have a problem and you...

If you have a problem and you can't find a solution, you meet again tomorrow and you keep talking until you find a solution. You can disagree with behavior or a particular position, but you do not resort to calling an opponent worthless.
