Excellencies,<\/p>\n

It is my honor to preside this ceremony to award the United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights 2018.<\/p>\n

The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948, was one of the stellar moments of universal history and, without a doubt, it has been one of the greatest legacies of the General Assembly to humanity.<\/p>\n

This Prize was created to celebrate the extraordinary demonstration of fraternity and solidarity of men and women who suffered two world wars and set out to avoid them for future generations.<\/p>\n

In 1968, on the twentieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration, this prize was awarded for the first time.<\/p>\n
