I have been a World Peace Emissary since 1995 when the then UN Secretary General Boutros Ghali congratulated my NGO Children of the World2000 on its efforts on behalf of the world's children. I was recommended by the late James Grant who Executive Director of UNICEF for an award back in 1989 for our efforts in securing the support of the UN General Assembly to deliver the 1st World Summit of Children in 1990. The World Summit in 1990 was where over 70 Heads of state promised to look after the wellbeing and future of the children their countries. Over 20 years on and horrendous reports about children around the world have been reported. Colleagues engaged in the ongoing process of saving, protecting and defending our children wherever they are have contributed reports to childrens' rights NGOs and Human Rights groups. Our response is to work now even harder to achieve a common sense of purpose by all of civil society. We have to continually be on the doorsteps of offending Governments shaming them, urging them to change their ways before it is too late. The challenge that faces all of us is that we must design an international community that both embraces, and acts in the achievement of global values: liberty, democracy, tolerance, justice. These are the values we believe in and are supposedly universally accepted across all nations, faiths and races, though not by all elements within them. We can be inspired and united by these values if we work hard at it. So, how, at this moment in time, in an international community that has been torn apart, do we achieve such unity around such values? By pulling together like-minded organisations such as CoTW2000,United Nations Associations etc,etc to foster these issues amongst the grass roots of the international community. If we are to leave a peaceful world to our future generations then we have a difficult challenge. It is up to us to advocate a new concord, a new path, to replace the old contention, the old way with new creative solutions innovated by our young people who honestly go into challenges with open minds.
