Paragraph text
The Secretary-General has stated that respecting the rights of children, of women, and of all minorities is at the core of the Charter of the United Nations; it is both a moral obligation and an economic imperative.

Preserving minority languages and nurturing ethnic cultures and traditions lays the foundations for lasting stability.
