More quotes by Anna Lindh
That was for instance the case in Mocambique a couple of years ago, during the flooding catastrophe. Instead of co-ordinating assistance properly, to much time and resources was spent on fighting about the same helicopters and local guides.
Anna Lindh
In a case like Iraq the UN has again shown what important role it plays as the guarantor for protecting international peace and stability in the global political structure.
Anna Lindh
Human rights are praised more than ever - and violated as much as ever.
Anna Lindh
Developed countries and advanced developing countries must open their markets for products from the developing world, and support in developing their export and import capacity.
Anna Lindh
The United Nations remains our most important global actor. These days we are continuously reminded of the enormous responsibility of the Security Council to uphold international peace and stability.
Anna Lindh
The globalisation of information makes people aware of what they have - and have not. Problems and oppression are impossible to hide, and the new and powerful tools of information provide us with more opportunities than ever to react and act.
Anna Lindh
Regional exchange can be a source of growth and development, and of enhancing good governance.
Anna Lindh
The WTO has one of the most impressive records in global economic governance, by promoting trade liberalisation and economic development.
Anna Lindh
We urge President Bush to abstain from the National Missile Defense, just as we urge China, India and Pakistan to discontinue their nuclear arsenals.
Anna Lindh
The world is richer than ever, and the gaps between rich and poor are wider.
Anna Lindh
Poverty must be reduced not only for reasons of moral and justice, but also of security.
Anna Lindh
We need new partnerships in fighting terrorism and building peace.
Anna Lindh
Terrorism can never be accepted. We must fight it together, with methods that do not compromise our respect for the rule of law and human rights, or are used as an excuse for others to do so.
Anna Lindh
States have the responsibility to create rules and conditions for growth and development, and to channel the benefits to all citizens by providing education and making people able to participate in the economies, and in decision-making.
Anna Lindh
Global markets must be balanced by global values such as respect for human rights and international law, democracy, security and sustainable economic and environmental development.
Anna Lindh
Globalisation has made us more vulnerable. It creates a world without borders, and makes us painfully aware of the limitations of our present instruments, and of politics, to meet its challenges.
Anna Lindh
One of the gaps in our international development efforts is the provision of global public goods - that is, goods or conditions we need that no individual or country can secure on their own, such as halting global warming, financial stability and peace and security.
Anna Lindh
The most important issue we have to deal with is freedom of movement.
Anna Lindh
Still, corruption and oppression are far too common threats to the democratic society.
Anna Lindh
To properly reflect the changes of the world and of the UN, with its growing number of member states, we would like to see an enlargement of the SC that gives room for new members, not least developing countries.
Anna Lindh
