Goa
30 July 2016: “When greed supersedes concerns about the health of our planet or
its inhabitants, when fanatic attachment to ideology is pursued at all costs,
and when people suffer human rights violations because they are considered
somehow less than equal, the heritage of humanity is betrayed and our future
well being is placed in peril, On this International Day of Friendship, let us
resolve to cherish and cultivate as many warm relationships as possible,
enriching our own lives and enhancing the future." Sandeep Marwah
Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization affiliated to United
Nations read the message of UN
Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon in a small event at Hotel Taj Vivanta Holiday Village,
Goa.
The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed by the UN General
Assembly with the idea of friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and
individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.
The Day is also intended to support the goals and
objectives of the Declaration and Programs of Action on a Culture of Peace
and the
International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children
of the World.
