Can I say how delighted I am to be away

¿Podo dicir o encantado que estou de estar alonxado

from the calm of Westminster and Whitehall? (Laughter)

da calma de Westminster e Whitehall?

This is Kim, a nine-year-old Vietnam girl,

Esta é Kim, unha nena vietnamita de nove anos

her back ruined by napalm,

coas costas queimadas polo Napalm

and she awakened the conscience of the nation of America

ela espertou a conciencia da nación americana

to begin to end the Vietnam War.

pra comenzar o fin da Guerra do Vietnam

This is Birhan, who was the Ethiopian girl

Esta é Birhan, que foi a nena etíope

who launched Live Aid in the 1980s,

que lanzou a campaña Live Aid nos oitenta

15 minutes away from death when she was rescued,

a 15 minutos de morrer cando foi rescatada

and that picture of her being rescued is one that went round the world.

e esta foto do seu rescate circulou por todo o mundo

This is Tiananmen Square.

Esta é a praza de Tiananmen

A man before a tank became a picture

un home diante dun tanque converteuse nunha foto

that became a symbol for the whole world of resistance.

que voltouse nun símbolo da resistencia pra todo o mundo

This next is the Sudanese girl,

A seguinte é unha nena sudanesa

a few moments from death,

uns intres antes de morrer

a vulture hovering in the background,

e no fondo agardando un voitre

a picture that went round the world

unha foto que percorreu o mundo

and shocked people into action on poverty.

e levou á xente a actuar contra a pobreza

This is Neda, the Iranian girl

Esta é Neda, a nena iraniana

who was shot while at a demonstration with her father in Iran

que morreu dun disparo nunha manifestación co seu pai no Irán,

only a few weeks ago, and she is now the focus, rightly so,

hai unhas semanas e hoxe é, xustamente, o foco de atención

of the YouTube generation.

da xeración YouTube

And what do all these pictures and events have in common?

¿Qué teñen todas estas fotos e eventos en común?

What they have in common is what we see unlocks

o que teñen en común é o que vemos revélanos

what we cannot see.

o que non podemos ver

What we see unlocks the invisible ties

O que vemos revélanos os lazos invisibles

and bonds of sympathy that bring us together

e ligazóns de simpatía que nos unen

to become a human community.

pra convertírmonos nunha comunidade humana

What these pictures demonstrate is that

O que estas fotos amosan é que

we do feel the pain of others,

sentimos a dor dos outros

however distantly.

inda que estean lonxe

What I think these pictures demonstrate

O que penso que estas fotos amosan

is that we do believe in something bigger than ourselves.

é que cremos nalgo máis grande ca nós mesmos

What these pictures demonstrate is

O que estas fotos amosan é

that there is a moral sense across all religions, across all faiths,

que hai un sentido moral en tódalas relixións, en tódalas fes,

across all continents -- a moral sense that

en tódolos continentes -- un sentido moral de que

not only do we share the pain of others,

compartimos non só a dor dos outros

and believe in something bigger than ourselves

e cremos nalgo máis grande ca nós mesmos

but we have a duty to act when we see things

senón que temos a obriga de actuar cando vemos cousas

that are wrong that need righted,

que son incorrectas e necesitan ser endereitadas

see injuries that need to be corrected,

vemos danos que teñen que ser corrixidos

see problems that need to be rectified.

vemos problemas que teñen que ser rectificados

There is a story about Olof Palme, the Swedish Prime Minister,

Hai unha historia sobre Olof Palme, o Primeiro ministro sueco

going to see Ronald Reagan in America in the 1980s.

cando foi ver a Ronald Reagan a America nos oitenta

Before he arrived Ronald Reagan said --

Antes de que él chegara Ronald Reagan dixo --

and he was the Swedish Social Democratic Prime Minister --

e él era o Primeiro ministro sueco

"Isn’t this man a communist?"

"¿Non é este home un comunista?"

The reply was, "No, Mr President, he’s an anti-communist."

A resposta foi: "Non, Señor Presidente, él é un anti-comunista."

And Ronald Reagan said, "I don’t care what kind of communist he is!"

E Ronald Reagan dixo: " Non me importa que clase de comunista sexa!"

(Laughter)

(Risas)

Ronald Reagan asked Olof Palme,

Ronald Reagan preguntoulle a Olof Palme

the Social Democratic Prime Minister of Sweden,

ó Primeiro ministro Social Demócrata Sueco

"Well, what do you believe in? Do you want to abolish the rich?"

"Ben ¿e vostede en que cree? ¿Quere abolir ós ricos?"

He said, "No, I want to abolish the poor."

Él Contestoulle "Non, eu quero abolir ós pobres"

Our responsibility is to let everyone have the chance

A nosa responsabilidade é permitir que todos teñan a oportunidade

to realize their potential to the full.

de desenvolver o seu potencial por completo©

I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic

Eu creo que existe un sentido moral e unha ética global

that commands attention from people of every religion

que merece a atención da xente de calquera relixión,

and every faith, and people of no faith.

de calqueira fe e da xente sen fe.

But I think what's new is that we now have the capacity

Pero eu creo que o que é diferente é que agora temos a capacidade

to communicate instantaneously across frontiers

de comunicarnos instantáneamente cruzando fronteiras

right across the world.

por todo o mundo

We now have the capacity to find common ground

Temos agora a capacidade de atopar unha razón común

with people who we will never meet,

con xente que nunca coñeceremos

but who we will meet through the Internet and through

pero que coñeceremos a través do Internet e a través

all the modern means of communication;

de tódolos medios modernos de comunicación

that we now have the capacity to organize

que agora temos a capacidade de organizar

and take collective action together

e actuar colectivamente, xuntos

to deal with the problem or an injustice

pra afrontar os problemas ou as inxustizas

that we want to deal with;

que queiramos tratar,

and I believe that this makes this a unique age in human history,

e eu creo que isto fai desta época un momento único na historia humana

and it is the start of what I would call

e é o comezo do que eu chamaría

the creation of a truly global society.

a creación dunha verdadeira sociedade global

Go back 200 years when the slave trade was

Retornemos 200 anos atrás cando o comercio de escravos estaba

under pressure from William Wilberforce and all the protesters.

baixo presión de William Wilberforce e todolos manifestantes.

They protested across Britain.

Protestaron por toda Gran Bretaña.

They won public opinion over a long period of time.

Gañaronse a opinión pública por un largo periodo,

But it took 24 years for the campaign to be successful.

pero levoulles 24 anos de campaña para alcanzar o éxito.

What could they have done with the pictures that they could have shown

¿Qué terían feito coas fotos que poderían amosar

if they were able to use the modern means of communication

se tivesen a súa disposición os medios modernos de comunicación

to win people’s hearts and minds?

pra gañarse os corazóns e as mentes da xente?

Or if you take Eglantyne Jebb,

Ou vexan a Eglantyne Jebb,

the woman who created Save the Children 90 years ago.

a muller que creou "Save the Children" hai 90 anos,

She was so appalled by what was happening in Austria

Ela estaba tan arrepiada do que estaba a acontecer en Austria

as a result of the First World War and what was happening to children

como consecuencia da Primeira Guerra Mundial e do que lle estaba acontecendo ós nenos

who were part of the defeated families of Austria,

que eran parte das familias derrotadas de Austria

that in Britain she wanted to take action,

que en Gran Bretaña quixo actuar,

but she had to go house to house,

pero tivo que ir de casa en casa,

leaflet to leaflet, to get people to attend a rally

de folleto en folleto, pra acadar a atención do publico pra que acudira

in the Royal Albert Hall

a unha concentración no teatro Royal Albert Hall

that eventually gave birth to Save the Children,

e co tempo naceu "Save the Children",

an international organization that is now fully recognized

unha organización internacional que hoxe é totalmente recoñecida

as one of the great institutions in our land and in the world.

como unha das grandes institucións na nosa terra e no mundo.

But what more could she have done

¿Pero canto máis tería feito

if she’d had the modern means of communications available to her

se tivese os medios modernos de comunicación a súa disposición

to create a sense that the injustice that people saw

pra xerar o sentimento no que as inxustizas que vía a xente

had to be acted upon immediately?

puidesen ser afrontadas inmediatamente?

Now look at what’s happened in the last 10 years.

Agora vexamos o que sucedeu nos últimos dez anos

In Philippines in 2001, President Estrada --

Nas Filipinas no 2001, Presidente Estrada

a million people texted each other about the corruption of that regime,

un millón de persoas enviáronse mensaxes de texto sobre a corrupción do rexime

eventually brought it down and it was, of course, called the "coup de text." (Laughter)

que co tempo caeu e foi chamado, por suposto, o "golpe do texto"

Then you have in Zimbabwe the first election under Robert Mugabe a year ago.

Tamén teñen a Zimbawe, a primeira elección baixo Robert Mugabe, fai un ano,

Because people were able to take mobile phone photographs

Debido a que a xente puido tomar fotos cos seus mobiles

of what was happening at the polling stations, it was impossible

do que estaba acontecendo nos postos electorais, foi imposible

for that Premier to fix that election in the way that he wanted to do.

que o primer ministro arranxara as eleccións na forma que quería facelo.

Or take Burma and the monks that were blogging out,

Ou vexan Burma e os monxes que estiveron blogeando,

a country that nobody knew anything about that was happening, until these blogs

un país onde ninguen sabía o que estaba a acontecer ata que os blogs

told the world that there was a repression,

dixéronlle ó mundo da represión existente,

meaning that lives were being lost

que estábanse a perder vidas

and people were being persecuted and Aung San Suu Kyi,

e que a xente estaba sendo perseguida e de Aung San Suu Kyi

who is one of the great prisoners of conscience of the world,

que é unha das grandes encadeadas de concencia do mundo,

had to be listened to.

que tiña que ser escoitada.

Then take Iran itself, and what people are doing today:

Vexamos o Irán mesmo e o que a xente esta facendo agora,

following what happened to Neda,

seguindo o que lle aconteceu a Neda,

people who are preventing the security services of Iran finding those people

a xente que estan a evitar que os servizos de seguridade de Irán atopen as persoas

who are blogging out of Iran, any by everybody who is blogging,

que estan a bloguear fora de Irán,

changing their address to Tehran, Iran,

cambiando os seus enderezos a Teherán, Irán

and making it difficult for the security services.

e facendo a vida difícil ós servizos de seguridade.

Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of:

Polo tanto, vexamos do que é capaz a tecnoloxía moderna:

the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications

O poder do noso sentido moral ligado co poder das comunicacións

and our ability to organize internationally.

e da nosa capacidade de organizármonos internacionalmente

That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community

Iso, dende o meu punto de vista, danos a primeira oportunidade como comunidade

to fundamentally change the world.

de cambiar fundamentalmente o mundo

Foreign policy can never be the same again. It cannot be run by elites;

A política exterior xa non pode ser a mesma de novo.Non pode ser xestionada polas elites;

it’s got to be run by listening to the public opinions of peoples who are blogging,

debe ser xestionada escoitando a opinión pública da xente que esta a bloguear

who are communicating with each other around the world.

que esta a se comunicar cos seus semellantes ó redor do mundo.

200 years ago the problem we had to solve was slavery.

Hai 200 anos o problema que tiñamos que resolver era a escravitude;

150 years ago I suppose the main problem in a country like ours

Hai 150 anos,supoño que o problema principal dun país como o noso♪

was how young people, children, had the right to education.

era como cumprir co dereito á educación pra os nenos e a xente nova:

100 years ago in most countries in Europe, the pressure was for the right to vote.

hai 100 anos na maioría dos paises europeos, a presión era pra acadar o dereito ó voto

50 years ago the pressure was for the right to social security and welfare.

hai 50 anos anos a presión era pra obter o dereito á seguridade social e ó benestar

In the last 50-60 years we have seen fascism, anti-Semitism, racism, apartheid,

Nos últimos 50-60 anos vimos fascismo, antisemitismo, racismo, apartheid,

discrimination on the basis of sex and gender and sexuality;

discriminación de sexo, xénero e sexualidade;

all these have come under pressure

todos estes teñen estado baixo presión

because of the campaigns that have been run by people to change the world.

debido ás campañas da xente para cambialo mundo.

I was with Nelson Mandela a year ago, when he was in London.

Hai un ano estiven con Nelson Mandela cando estivo en Londres,

I was at a concert that he was attending to mark his birthday

Estaba nun concerto ó que él asistía co motivo do seu aniversario

and for the creation of new resources for his foundation.

e pra a xeración de novos recursos pra a súa fundación.

I was sitting next to Nelson Mandela -- I was very privileged to do so --

Estaba sentado a carón de Nelson Mandela --tiña ese enorme privilexio --

when Amy Winehouse came onto the stage. (Laughter)

cando Amy Winehouse achegouse ó estrado

And Nelson Mandela was quite surprised at the appearance of the singer

e Nelson Mandela estaba bastante abraiado da aparición da cantante

and I was explaining to him at the time who she was.

e expliqueille nese momento quen era ela.

Amy Winehouse said, "Nelson Mandela and I have a lot in common.

Amy Winehouse dixo: "Nelson Mandela e mais eu temos moito en común.

My husband too has spent a long time in prison."

Meu esposo tamén pasou moito tempo na cadea"

(Laughter)

(Risas)

Nelson Mandela then went down to the stage

Entón Nelson Mandela acudiu ó escenario

and he summarized the challenge for us all.

e resumiu o reto que temos todos.

He said in his lifetime he had climbed a great mountain, the mountain

Dixo que na súa vida escalara unha gran montaña, a montaña

of challenging and then defeating racial oppression and defeating apartheid.

de retar e logo vencer a opresión racial e derrotar ó apartheid.

He said that there was a greater challenge ahead,

Agregou que había por diante desafíos máis grandes,

the challenge of poverty, of climate change -- global challenges

o desafío da pobreza, do cambio climático e dos retos globais

that needed global solutions

que necesitan solucións globais

and needed the creation of a truly global society.

e necesitan da creación dunha sociedade auténticamente global.

We are the first generation which is in a position to do this.

Somos a primeira xeración que está na posición de facelo,

Combine the power of a global ethic

Combinar o poder dunha ética global

with the power of our ability to communicate

co poder da nosa capacidade pra comunicarnos

and organize globally, with the challenges that we now face,

e organizármonos globalmente pra afrontar os retos actuais,

most of which are global in their nature.

moitos dos cales son de natureza global.

Climate change cannot be solved in one country,

O cambio climático non pode solucionarse nun país soamente

but has got to be solved by the world working together.

senón que ten que ser solucionado por todo o mundo traballando xunto.

A financial crisis, just as we have seen, could not be solved

Unha crisis financeira, tal como a vimos, non pode ser

by America alone or Europe alone;

resolta polos Estados Unidos ou Europa soamente;

it needed the world to work together.

necesita todo o mundo traballando en conxunto.

Take the problems of security and terrorism and, equally,

Vexamos os problemas de seguridade e terrorismo e, igualmente,

the problem of human rights and development:

o problema dos dereitos humanos e o desenvolvemento:

they cannot be solved by Africa alone;

África soa non os pode solucionar;

they cannot be solved by America or Europe alone.

Estados Unidos ou Europa sós non os poden solucionar.

We cannot solve these problems unless we work together.

Non podemos solucionar estes problemas a menos que traballemos xuntos.

So the great project of our generation, it seems to me,

Entón o gran proxecto da noxa xeración, paréceme,

is to build for the first time, out of a global ethic

é construir por primeira vez dende unha ética global

and our global ability to communicate

e a nosa capacidade global de comunicación

and organize together, a truly global society,

e de organización conxunta, unha sociedade auténticamente global,

built on that ethic but with institutions

construida sobre esa ética pero con institucións

that can serve that global society and make for a different future.

que poidan servir á sociedade global e fagan un futuro diferente.

We have now, and are the first generation with, the power to do this.

Hoxe temos, e somos a primeira xeración, o poder de facelo.

Take climate change. Is it not absolutely scandalous

Consideremos o cambio climático. Non é absolutamente escandaloso

that we have a situation

que teñamos unha situación

where we know that there is a climate change problem,

na que sabemos que hai un problema de cambio climático

where we know also that that will mean we have to give more resources

na que todos sabemos tamén que isto significa que debemos dar máis recursos

to the poorest countries to deal with that,

ós países máis pobres pra que lle fagan fronte,

when we want to create a global carbon market,

na que queremos crear un mercado do carbón global,

but there is no global institution

pero non existe unha institución global

that people have been able to agree upon

na que a xente poida alcanzar un acordo

to deal with this problem?

para afrontar este problema?

One of the things that has got to come out of Copenhagen in the next few months

Unha das cousas que debe xurdir de Copenhague nos próximos meses

is an agreement that there will be

é un acordo pra que haxa

a global environmental institution

unha institución medioambiental global

that is able to deal

que sexa capaz de afrontar

with the problems of persuading the whole of the world

ós problemas de persuadir a todo o mundo

to move along a climate-change agenda.

de avanzar cunha axenda de cambio climático.

(Applause)

(Aplausos)

One of the reasons why an institution is not in itself enough

Unha das razóns polas que unha institución soa non é suficiente

is that we have got to persuade people around the world

é que temos que persuadir á xente ó redor do mundo

to change their behavior as well,

pra cambiar o seu comportamiento tamén,

so you need that global ethic of fairness and responsibility

polo tanto necesítase unha ética global de xustiza e responsabilidade

across the generations.

en todalas xeracións.

Take the financial crisis.

Consideremos a crise financeira

If people in poorer countries can be hit by a crisis that starts in New York

Se a xente dos paises máis pobres poden sufrir por unha crise que comeza en Nova york

or starts in the sub-prime market of the United States of America.

ou comeza no mercado dos créditos "subprime" nos Estados Unidos

If people can find that that sub-prime product

Se a xente pode atopar que ese producto "subprime"

has been transferred across nations

foi transferido entre as nacións

many, many times until it ends up in banks in Iceland

moitas, moitas veces ata rematar nos bancos de Islandia

or the rest in Britain,

ou no resto da Gran Bretaña

and people's ordinary savings are affected by it,

e os aforros da xente común vense afectados por elo

then you cannot rely on a system of national supervision.

entón non se pode confiar nun sistema de supervisión nacional.

You need in the long run for stability, for economic growth,

Pra ter estabilidade, crecimento económico,

for jobs, as well as for financial stability,

traballos, así como estabilidade financeira a largo prazo,

global economic institutions that make sure

requírense institucións económicas globais que aseguren

that growth to be sustained has to be shared,

que o crecemento a soster sexa compartido

and are built on the principle

e construido sobre o principio

that the prosperity of this world is indivisible.

de que a prosperidade deste mundo é indivisible.

So another challenge for our generation is to create global institutions

Polo tanto, outro reto pra nosa xeración é crear institucións globais

that reflect our ideas of fairness and responsibility,

que reflictan as nosas ideas de xustiza e responsabilidade

not the ideas that were the basis

e non as ideas que foron a base

of the last stage of financial development over these recent years.

da última etapa do desenvolvemento financeiro durante estes anos recentes.

Then take development and take the partnership we need between our countries

Entón consideremos o desenvolvemento e as asociacións que necesitamos entre os nosos países

and the rest of the world, the poorest part of the world.

e o resto do mundo, a parte máis pobre do mundo.

We do not have the basis of a proper partnership for the future,

Non temos as bases dunha asociación apropiada pra o futuro,

and yet, out of people’s desire for a global ethic

e nembargantes, do desexo da xente dunha ética global

and a global society that can be done.

e unha sociedade global se pode facer.

I have just been talking to the President of Sierra Leone.

Falaba recentemente co Presidente de Serra Leona,

This is a country of six and a half million people,

Este é un país con seis millóns e medio de habitantes,

but it has only 80 doctors; it has 200 nurses;

pero só teñen 80 doutores, 200 enfermeiras

it has 120 midwives.

e 120 parteiras.

You cannot begin to build a healthcare system for six million people

Non se pode comezar a construir un sistema de saude pra seis millóns de persoas

with such limited resources.

con recursos tan limitados.

Or take the girl I met when I was in Tanzania,

Ou consideren a nena que coñecín cando estiven en Tanzania,

a girl called Miriam.

unha nena chamada Miriam;

She was 11 years old; her parents had both died from AIDS,

tiña 11 anos e os seus pais morreran os dous de SIDA,

her mother and then her father.

a súa nai e logo o seu pai

She was an AIDS orphan being handed

Era unha orfa do SIDA que pasara

across different extended families to be cared for.

por diferentes familias pra o seu cuidado.

She herself was suffering from HIV;

Ela mesma sufría do VIH,

she was suffering from tuberculosis.

e padecía tuberculose.

I met her in a field, she was ragged, she had no shoes.

A coñecín nun campo, en farrapos, sen zapatos,

When you looked in her eyes, any girl at the age of eleven

cando a miras ós ollos, calquera nena de once anos

is looking forward to the future,

está a esperar o futuro,

but there was an unreachable sadness in that girl’s eyes

pero había unha tristeza inalcanzable nos ollos desta nena

and if I could have translated that to the rest of the world for that moment,

que si eu puidese traducir ó resto o do mundo ese momento,

I believe that all the work that it had done for the global HIV/AIDS fund

Eu creo que todo o traballo que se fixera polo fondo global do VIH/SIDA

would be rewarded by people being prepared to make donations.

veríase recompensado por xente disposta a facer donacións.

We must then build a proper relationship between the richest and

Debemos entón construir una relación axeitada entre os países

the poorest countries

máis ricos e os máis pobres

based on our desire that they are able to fend for themselves

basada no noso desexo de que poidan valerse por sí mesmos

with the investment that is necessary in their agriculture,

coa inversión que sexa necesaria na súa agricultura,

so that Africa is not a net importer of food, but an exporter of food.

de modo que África non sexa un importador neto de alimentos senón un exportador de alimentos.

Take the problems of human rights and

Consideremos os problemas dos dereitos humanos e

the problems of security in so many countries around the world.

os problemas de seguridade en tantos países ó redor do mundo.

Burma is in chains, Zimbabwe is a human tragedy,

Burma está encadeada, Zimbawe é unha traxedia humana,

in Sudan thousands of people have died unnecessarily

no Sudán miles de persoas morreron innecesariamente

for wars that we could prevent.

por guerras que poderíamos evitar.

In the Rwanda Children's Museum,

No Museo Infantil de Ruanda,

there is a photograph of a 10-year-old boy

hai unha fotografía dun neno de 10 anos

and the Children's Museum is commemorating the lives that were lost

e o Museo Infantil conmemora as vidas que se perderon

in the Rwandan genocide where a million people died.

no xenocidio de Ruanda no que morreron un millón de persoas.

There is a photograph of a boy called David.

Hai unha fotografía dun neno chamado David,

Beside that photograph there is the information about his life.

ó carón da fotografía hai información da súa vida,

It said "David, age 10."

que dí: "David, idade 10 anos."

David: ambition to be a doctor.

David, a súa ambición: ser doutor.

Favorite sport: football. What did he enjoy most?

Deporte favorito: futbol ¿qué lle gustaba máis?

Making people laugh.

Facer rir á xente,

How did he die?

¿cómo morreu?

Tortured to death.

Torturado a morte.

Last words said to his mother who was also tortured to death:

As últimas palabras que lle dixo a súa nai que tamén foi torturada ata morrer:

"Don't worry. The United Nations are coming."

"No te preocupes, as Nacións Unidas van chegar."

And we never did.

e nunca o fixemos

And that young boy believed our promises

E este rapaz creu nas nosas promesas,

that we would help people in difficulty in Rwanda,

que axudaríamos á xente en dificultades en Ruanda,

and we never did.

e nunca o fixemos.

So we have got to create in this world also

Entón non só temos que crear neste mundo

institutions for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid,

institucións pra manter a paz e de axuda humanitaria,

but also for reconstruction and security

senón tamen de reconstrucción e seguridade

for some of the conflict-ridden states of the world.

pra algúns dos estados cheos de conflictos no mundo.

So my argument today is basically this.

Polo tanto o meu argumento hoxe é fundamentalmente este:

We have the means by which we could create a truly global society.

Temos os medios cos que podemos crear unha auténtica sociedade global.

The institutions of this global society can be created by our endeavors.

Con nosos esforzos podemos crear as institucións desta sociedade global;

That global ethic can infuse the fairness and responsibility that is necessary

Que a ética global pode infundir a xustiza e responsabilidade que é necesaria

for these institutions to work,

pra que estas institucións funcionen

but we should not lose the chance in this generation,

pero non debemos perder a oportunidade nesta xeración,

in this decade in particular, with President Obama in America,

nesta década en particular, co Presidente Obama nos Estados unidos,

with other people working with us around the world,

e con outra xente traballando con nos ó redor do mundo

to create global institutions for the environment,

pra crear institucións globais pra o medioambiente,

and for finance,

pra as finanzas

and for security and for development,

e pra a seguridade e o desenvolvemento,

that make sense of our responsibility to other peoples,

que dean sentido a nosa responsabilidade cara as outras personas,

our desire to bind the world together, and

o noso desexo de concilialo mundo e

our need to tackle problems that everybody knows exist.

a nosa necesidade de afrontar os problemas que todos sabemos que existen.

It is said that in Ancient Rome that when Cicero spoke to his audiences,

Dise que na Roma Antiga, cando Cicerón dirixíase a súa audiencia,

people used to turn to each other and say about Cicero, "Great speech."

a xente mirábase entre sí e dicían de Ciceron: "Gran discurso."

But it is said that in Ancient Greece

Mais dise que na Grecia antiga

when Demosthenes spoke to his audiences,

cando Demóstenes dirixíase a súa audiencia,

people turned to each other and didn’t say "Great speech."

a xente mirábanse e non dicían: "Gran discurso"

They said, "Let's march."

dicían: "Imos logo"

We should be marching towards a global society.

Debemos ir tamén nós cara a unha sociedade global.

Thank you.

Gracias.

(Applause)
