第7章 非常时刻(6)

The Russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the United States. Just as the cause of any Russian fighting for his hearth and home is the cause of free men and free people in every quarter of the globe.

Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience. Let us re-double our exertion and strike with united strength while life and power remain.

Today, in Afghanistan, a girl will be born.Her mother will hold her and feed her, comfort her and care for her—just as any mother would anywhere in the world.In these most basic acts of human nature, humanity knows no divisions.ABut to be born a girl in today"s Afghanistan is to begin life centuries away from the prosperity that one small part of humanity has achieved.It is to live under conditions that many of us in this hall would consider inhuman.

Today"s real borders are not between nations, but between powerful and powerless, free and fettered, privileged and humiliated. Today, no walls can separate humanitarian or human rights crises in one part of the world from national security crises in another.

In the 21stCentury I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new, more profound, awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life, regardless of race or religion. This will require us to look beyond the framework of States, and beneath the surface of nations or communities.BWe must focus, as never before, on improving the conditions of the individual men and women who give the state or nation its richness and character.We must begin with the young Afghan girl, recognizing that saving that one life is to save humanity itself.

The United Nations, whose membership comprises almost all the States in the world, is founded on the principle of the equal worth of every human being. It is the nearest thing we have to a representative institution that can address the interests of all stated, and all peoples.

CThrough this universal, indispensable instrument of human progress, State can serve the interests of their citizens by recognizing common interests and pursuing them in unity. No doubt, that is why the Nobel Committee says that it“wished, in its centenary year, to proclaim that the only negotiable route to global peace and cooperation goes by way of the United Nations.”

This important and special ceremony marks a moment of both change and continuity in Hong Kong"s history.AIt marks, first of all, the restoration of Hong Kong to the People"s Republic of China, under the terms of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984,after more than 150 years of British administration.

This ceremony also celebrates continuity because, by that same treaty and the many subsequent agreements which have been made to implement its provisions, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will have its own government, and retain its own society, its own economy and its own way of life. I should like to pay tribute this evening to those who turned the concept of“one country, two systems”into the Joint Declaration, and to the dedication and commitment of those who have worked so hard over the last thirteen years to negotiate the details of the Joint Declaration"s implementation.BBut most of all I should like to pay tribute to the people of Hong Kong themselves for all that they have achieved in the last century and a half.The triumphant success of Hong Kong demands and deserves to be maintained.
