listeners
I am glad that I am with you today
then in dresden can be many thanks
for the invitation you have it yes
I just heard the foreigner
office in berlin responsible for the
united nations the eu and
international order and therefore listen
I always praise but also
critique this organization of 1945 with
we need an old structure
Anyway, what is she really for?
good and that’s why I want you today
from my personal experience
Take out on a journey
the universe around our planet
refugees they all see the pictures
refugees on the mediterranean sea
Refugees in camps when I travel
often in addition to mali often in after
africa in the crisis countries and then
I make myself a picture on the spot
i meet the refugees and they
tell me your stories and one
I want to tell you today, too
the story is a refugee woman
a displaced in juba that is the
capital of south sudan
civil war land for many
decades and one night in the
december 2013 this woman was like
many others the tribe of only in
juba hunted there were massacres there were
attacks against this group of people and
she did not know where in this situation
Can I turn to the then
police security forces they were on
the side of the attacker so she ran like that
like many others also to the camp of
uno mission unmis one
peacekeeping mission made there
to the gates and indeed the
unopened the gates and then was in
this time and until today about 200,000
people women children in
South Sudan is home to the UN mission
But not only provides protection for the
civilian population but and they see
it also on the picture it supplies
also the refugees for example
help
makes the un-world nutrition program
that or unicef the children’s charity that
school builds with that
refugee children after all
can receive provisional lessons
or im also the refugee organization
the uno that around the 60th
million of refugees and million
Distributed worldwide cares because of that
that ‘s how it is for us in berlin
Foreign Office for Germany as
one of the biggest donors too
humanitarian aid for us in the
organization of our main partners if
we work for that in the
refugees, for example, around syria
in jordan in lebanon or elsewhere
then we can do that
also with the uno organizations
blue helmets at the armistice line
to syria on the golan heights
I want to use this picture at two
topics briefly increasingly on the one hand
uno and syria and for the second that
actually do these peacekeepers
the uno in syria worldwide is one
the topics where we many
Speakers say why does that
Uno there is nothing the security council has
but he totally fails he does not decide
and it is indeed true
I must always regret that
see that the security council at the
Syria is blocked but you have to
of course ask yourself why and
behind it is at the end just that two
the veto powers of the security council
namely Russia and the United
States the usa at different
sides of this conflict stand and
that’s why
is there then also the
corresponding blocks in
Safety Council
Of course, that’s just what it stands for
geopolitics also makes politics one
situation creates where then the uno
is no longer able to act
That’s one of the reasons why we are
and me personally again and again
for that we use the
Safety Council must inform
it does not matter that he is like that
1945 the just countries from africa or
from other regions not constantly in the
Security Council are represented we are
for the rest, also for it
that the veto is quite limited
and thus less blockade
are also possible to be
Security is blocked is the
but not that uno in syria nothing
would do
humanitarian aid she will go to syria
brought in by uno help her
risk your own life and some
have lost it too
or if we say today we need it
a political solution military
will only lead to more bloodshed
then actually all eyes are directed
on staffan de mistura the
uno-singular because he leads the
single political negotiation process
which hopefully carries the sometime
again about a future one
peaceful future for syria
can be spoken
but other topics are for the
u19 relevant i call chemical weapons
The Syrian regime had many
Chemical weapons they were in this case
By unanimous decision of the
Security Council by the UNO during
the rausgeholt running civil war
and destroyed by the way also with
german help or
human rights violations see you
Every day every day will be the
human rights becomes war law
brutally injured in syria
we would not all want that
the responsible ones too
someday drawn to the account
so that it is possible that has
general meeting and has the
human rights council mechanisms
all these are crimes today
document and thus after all the
the basis for that is that we
someday, in fact, that too
guilty in court
back to the blue helmets on the
loaded
These blue helmets are at the limit
between syria or at the
Armistice line between syria
and israel and another mission stands
on the border to lebanon and you have
until today the situation there so
stabilizes that the Syrian
After all, civil war did not go there
could withstand and also many
other places it is just that
about 100,000 peacekeepers in the world
a situation that is very precarious
dangerous is where ever again
Violence can stabilize
for example in mali there was civil war there too
now it has stabilized it a bit
gives a peace agreement and the uno
mission – sometimes there carries help that
just this implementation is possible
By the way, Germany is with one
Contingent of the Federal Armed Forces also in Mali
represent
But the holiday also makes other things
Conflict areas you see you see
this space suit here on this picture
The UNO also clears mines
Removes the unexploded ammunition
and that means it makes it possible
that just people too
You can go to your villages in your home
this is the meeting room of the
human rights council in geneva
Personally i can i believe that
I do not count the hours in such hours
many have spent meeting rooms
also in very dark cellars in
New York and often the negotiations
in the end just not successful
it was worth my answer
that is absolutely worth it
because today we are in the world
look around then everything is what we want
enormous rights to international law
settle everything we do today
that world has come too
from these boardrooms the uno the
human rights grabbed the women right
Convention the convention over the
prohibition of chemical weapons, the
nuclear test stop or I know
stefan already has this here
just mentioned the agenda 2020 30 for
sustainable development where the world is
Many have shared an agenda
17 goals you just just together
would be able to achieve poverty
combat education for all
sustainable consumption and so on and so on
the uno is actually the only one
Place where the states of the world
can come together to settle for
unregulated to develop that as well
that is very important centrally
For example, on a topic like lethal
autonomous weapons systems volksmund er
killer robot
they may remember
corresponding movies it is still
future music but it is very
Near
the research is already very close and
if we want to fix it when we do that
we want to curb
again a forum a place where the
about it too
can communicate
in the rest of germany we are so one
country medium size actually just
always on the basis that we conflict
peacefully solve it, we take it after
solve certain rules and for it
we as germany we are here completely
particularly reliant on us on
An international system has one
international order
principles and rules are based where at the end
just the strength of the right and not
just the right of the stronger next to it
also applies Bonn on the Rhine one or
others may have been there before
uno is global but the uno is also in
Germany you know because here
of course in dresden is without flores
a research institute the largest
location of the uno here in germany it
Are bonn the climate secretariat together
with a few other institutions
a total of 1000 employees currently i
Was recently in Bonn again with
patricia espinosa spoke the
Head of the Climate Secretariat for in
bonn will be the november of this year
All countries of the world are guests to the world
will come to the next big one
world climate conference has espinosa yes
told me that she already had a lot
got more registrations than you
originally expected
also from many states and
heads of government of ministers and and
from very many people from the
civil society of quite a few boys
People and it really amazes me
not because of bonn is the signal
everyone really knows that
even if the us is the us
President of this climate agreement
The rest of the world wants to have passed
to stand there because we all understand it
is our common responsibility
to protect our planet and
that’s why it’s going to be that way
neighbors want to come to say there
We will be the Paris climate agreement
implement together
[Applause]
that makes the transition very easy
is a symbolic image it is a
Piece of Berlin Wall stands in New York
in front of the main building of the uno there and
for me it is symbolic because out
in my view the big problems
our time whether the climate is whether it is the
Pollution of the seas is the
air pollution, of course, if it is
also terrorizing or migration or
the problems the problem of
food safety seen globally
is in my view we need to
ask how can we handle these
deal with global issues
yes and when I look at this picture
then my personal conviction
at least not by building new ones
build and not by isolating ourselves
[Music]
not not by partitioning ourselves off and
us in our own four walls
withdraw and believe then it would
at least go well for us
In my opinion, that is the wrong way
I believe that in the magic forest for
our common future
international cooperation is
together these problems and
tackle challenges
civil society as well as just
from the governments under the roof of
Uno the just for that really the
right organization is in the end though
it also depends on each one of
Every single one of us can do this
can also help shape
can contribute and I believe
We can then finish this wise at the end
just for all of us
shaping this future together thank you
very
[Applause]
