Speeches

A. Betancourt: Alliance for Peace

Wednesday, March 12, 2008
Written by: Dr. Antonio Betancourt, Director, UPF Office of Government Relations
Whether we like it or not, whether we are aware of it or not, the world is marching toward one world in terms of information, technology, communications, and transportation. The world is becoming one global village. At a much slower pace, the world is becoming one human family. However, we are still very divided and dysfunctional, often at war over differences of opinion, ideology, religion, race, class, nationality, economy, and resources.

Written by: Dr. J’Lein Gabrielle Liese, President Foundation for Global Leadershi

The bird of humanity has a broken wing. Our wing is broken, and the only way to heal that wing is for men and women to come together in partnership. We have to value one another as resources and partners if we want to have healthy families and safe and loving children.

C.H. Kwak: World Summit on Peace

Sunday, February 10, 2008
Written by: Rev. Dr. Chung Hwan Kwak, Chairman, UPF

To establish a new paradigm of leadership and good governance, each of us must play a part. That is, we must each become a person who lives for the sake of others. Each day we must work not only to try to change others. We must begin by changing ourselves.

C. Lau: Making Global Connections

Friday, February 01, 2008
Written by: Dr. Cheryl Lau, Former Teaching Fellow, J.F.K. School of Government, Harvard University, USA

Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s philosophy centers on the renewal of peoples and their spiritual cultures. At one special conference, a major announcement was made regarding a massive project which he envisions as a way to unite the east and the west through a cultural and economic milestone: the building of the Bering Strait tunnel or bridge. To place this project into a better perspective and understand this unique vision, let us first look back to a few historical achievements:

S. Shushkevich: Bering Strait, a Bridge of the Future

Friday, February 01, 2008
Written by: H.E Stanislau Shushkevich, Former Chairman, Supreme Council, Belarus

Elementary logic would demonstrate that a bridge across the Bering Strait is not a commercial project, not some scheme, however great may be the risks involved, no business venture thought up by some entrepreneur, however far-fetched.

M. Nakajima: Japanese Maglev Technology

Thursday, January 31, 2008
Written by: Hon. Mamoru Nakajima, Former Member, Diet, Japan

Based on my experience as a Diet Member and a minister of state, I have been very impressed, overwhelmed and moved by Rev. Moon’s strong passion and vision for peace. Above all, my heart beats faster with anticipation by hearing his plan of International Highway, which requires humankind to gather wisdom and act according to it, as well as his Japan-Korea Tunnel Project and Bering Strait Tunnel Project.

S. Pradhan: Peace Depends on Us

Friday, January 18, 2008
Written by: Hon. Sahana Pradhan, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Nepal

As I understand it, democracy and good governance are synonymous. Democracy is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is about effective delivery of services to the people, and it is also about accountability of the executive arm of the state to the people’s representatives—the Members of Parliament. It is about accepting the people as a sovereign source of power. Governance can be classified as bad and good. Good governance is about using state power and resources in a justifiable and accountable manner. Rule of law, accountability, transparency, and people’s participation in a meaningful sense are some of the requisites of good governance.

Monday, December 17, 2007
Written by: Dr. Paula Sotutu, Oceania Director, Habitat for Humanity
