February 4, 2020
“Human rights and freedoms are universal; a sense of perception is given to each individual – no matter in which country, in what culture and religion. When we say “human rights,” do we mean – at least in this hall – the same thing?”
S. Harper: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“I’ve been asked to speak about peace-building, and the process of peace-building, with particular emphasis on the ongoing efforts of the Trump administration and its allies to advance the cause of peace on the Korean peninsula, to prevent further nuclearization in North Korea, and to encourage the evolution of the Kim regime away from its rogue-state status.”

“As I told my brothers and sisters at the WCLC Inaugural Convocation last December, I will organize a Japan Clergy Leadership Conference (JCLC) in Japan that can contribute to the development of the WCLC. JCLC will be the keystone of reconciliation among religions.”

“We cannot express in words the horrors of wars and conflicts that have arisen repeatedly, creating religious, racial and ideological barriers throughout the 6,000 biblical years of history. In addition, because of human greed and selfishness, not only humanity but also the environment is suffering. The reality is that we can no longer be onlookers.”
P. Jonathan: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“Peace is the ground upon which sustainable development is built. It is the atmosphere in which prosperity and other virtues like love and justice and equality can blossom. This is why everybody has to volunteer to promote peace, no matter our role and status in our societies. It is for this reason that I say that women are critical stakeholders in peacebuilding.”
A. Jäätteenmäki: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“Women’s participation in decision making has, unfortunately, not been an area where progress has been notable. Equality in participation and decision-making in society at all levels, from grassroots to governmental positions, is important.”
J. Barroso: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“We can no longer say to each other, "your side of the boat is sinking;" we have to solve issues together. If there is a common problem, we have to find a common solution.”

“The world is too complicated to be predicted and judged in the markets by bureaucrats. Capitalism is good at doing the one thing socialism or political capitalism is really bad at doing – creating innovation, providing incentives, adjusting market conditions and bringing satisfaction to buyer and seller of commodities.”
W. D. Lay: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in his famous Letter from the Birmingham Jail, wrote, 'How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.'”

“Reverend Moon spent most of his life teaching the Principle in religious terms. Yet science was never far from his concern.”
S. J. Moon: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“God, who is the origin of love, created humankind in order to share and multiply love. We were even created to be partners and co-creators with God. If we grow in wisdom and in love – true love, that is – we will come to treat the natural world with the same loving heart that God has toward this world. We will be life-givers who resemble God and, in this respect, we would become worthy to become the true stewards of nature.”

February 4, 2020
“At this very moment, some conflicts based on diversity are at the origin of a possible dismantling of the European project. The challenge of a better knowledge of the history and the culture, the language, the music and the religion of our neighbors is preliminary to understanding their attitudes.”

February 4, 2020
“The Pacific Rim countries have experienced major economic change and growth to become components of an economically integrated trade region and continue to gain strength in the global economy. These countries are seen as an engine of global development. Reverend Dr. Moon recognized this trend and soon completed a circuit of the world where he studied all religions. He knew that Jesus was sent to save all people and when Dr. Moon toured the Pacific Rim region, he knew that the future of humankind was rooted in the Pacific Rim.”
Y. Nishikawa: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“Technological advances and changes in international cooperation, such as the development of civil engineering technology and of interdependence, have made international highways and undersea tunnel projects a reality. Rev. Moon’s ability to foresee the future is amazing, and it is necessary to reconfirm the importance and significance of his proposed initiative.”

“Reagan would say in 1992 in a video message for the newspaper’s 10th anniversary: ‘You my friends at The Washington Times have told it to them. It wasn’t always the popular thing to do, but you were a loud and powerful voice. Like me, you arrived in Washington at the beginning of the most momentous decade of the century. Together we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. And oh, yes, we won the Cold War.’”

“The stakes are high: that is, of building a region integrated on a global scale, linking Africa, the Mediterranean and Europe—brought together under the acronym AME—in which each part finds its centrality and singularity while not forgetting the importance of the collective sense.”
T. Ward: Address to World Summit 2020

“Today, teranga is, as a matter of fact, a brand name for Senegal and the Senegalese people in Africa. It calls for openness to other people. Senegal is referred to as le pays de la teranga or ‘the country of teranga.’”
