and with it, a duty to ensure it was not placed in vain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">In ringing the Bell today, we are reminded of this legacy &ndash; and the inescapable truth for which this Bell tolls:<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">Peace must be built.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">And it is our shared responsibility to build it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">Through acts of courage and compromise,<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">Through choices of unity over division,<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">And the countless individual contributions that give life to our collective aims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">Indeed, to invest in peace is to invest in <em>trust<\/em>,<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">And 81 years on, in the confidence that multilateral action can still deliver for those it exists to serve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333333;font-size:15px;line-height:1.95;margin:0 0 20px\">This year&rsquo;s theme &ndash;
