Jody Williams: A realistic vision for world peace

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

I'm actually here

Ovdje sam zapravo

to make a challenge to people.

kako bih iznijela izazov pred ljude.

I know there have been many challenges made to people.

Znam kako su mnogi izazovi postavljeni pred ljude.

The one I'm going to make

Onaj koji ću ja postaviti

is that it is time for us to reclaim

je kako je došlo vrijeme za nas da vratimo

what peace really means.

pravo značenje mira.

Peace is not "Kumbaya, my Lord."

Mir nije, "Kumbaya, moj Gospodine".

Peace is not the dove and the rainbow --

Mir nije golubica i duga --

as lovely as they are.

bez obzira koliko su slatke.

When I see the symbols

Kada vidim simbole

of the rainbow and the dove,

duge i golubice,

I think of personal serenity.

pomislim na osobni spokoj.

I think of meditation.

Pomislim na meditaciju.

I do not think

Ne pomislim

about what I consider to be peace,

o onome što ja smatram mirom,

which is sustainable peace

a to je održivi mir

with justice and equality.

s pravdom i jednakošću.

It is a sustainable peace

Održiv mir je onaj

in which the majority of people

u kojem većina ljudi

on this planet

na ovom planetu

have access to enough resources

imaju pristup dovoljnim resursima

to live dignified lives,

kako bi dostojanstveno živjeli,

where these people have enough access

gdje ti ljudi imaju dovoljan pristup

to education

edukaciji

and health care,

i zdravstvenoj njezi,

so that they can live in freedom from want

tako da mogu živjeti u slobodi od želje

and freedom from fear.

i slobodi od straha.

This is called human security.

To se zove ljudska sigurnost.

And I am not a complete pacifist

I ja nisam potpuni pacifist

like some of my really, really heavy-duty,

poput nekih od mojih doista, doista zagriženih

non-violent friends,

nenasilnih prijatelja,

like Mairead McGuire.

poput Mairead McGuire.

I understand that humans

Shvaćam kako su ljudi

are so "messed up" --

toliko poremećeni --

to use a nice word,

da koristim lijepu riječ,

because I promised my mom

jer sam obećala svojoj mami

I'd stop using the F-bomb in public.

kako ću prestati koristiti J-bombu u javnosti.

And I'm trying harder and harder.

I trudim se sve više i više.

Mom, I'm really trying.

Mama, doista se trudim.

We need a little bit of police;

Trebamo malo policije,

we need a little bit of military,

trebamo malo vojske,

but for defense.

ali za obranu.

We need to redefine

Moramo redefinirati

what makes us secure

ono što nas čini sigurnima

in this world.

u ovom svijetu.

It is not arming our country

Ne treba naoružavati našu zemlju

to the teeth.

do zuba.

It is not getting other countries

Ne treba poticati druge zemlje

to arm themselves to the teeth

da se naoružaju do zubiju

with the weapons that we produce

s oružjima koje mi proizvodimo

and we sell them.

i koje prodajemo.

It is using that money more rationally

Treba koristiti taj novac racionalnije

to make the countries of the world secure,

kako bi učinili zemlje svijeta sigurnijima,

to make the people of the world secure.

kako bi učinili ljude svijeta sigurnijima.

I was thinking about

Razmišljala sam o

the recent ongoings

nedavnim zbivanjima

in Congress,

u Kongresu,

where the president is offering

gdje predsjednik nudi

8.4 billion dollars

8,4 milijarde dolara

to try to get the START vote.

kako bi pokušao pokrenuti START glasanje.

I certainly support the START vote.

Ja definitivno podupirem START glasanje.

But he's offering 84 billion dollars

Ali on nudi 84 milijarde dolara

for the modernizing

za modernizaciju

of nuclear weapons.

nuklearnog oružja.

Do you know the figure that the U.N. talks about

Znate li kako je brojka o kojoj UN govori

for fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals

za ispunjenje Milenijskih razvojnih ciljeva

is 80 billion dollars?

80 milijardi dolara?

Just that little bit of money,

Samo ta mala količina novca,

which to me, I wish it was in my bank account --

za koju bih željela da je na mom bankovnom računu --

it's not, but ...

nije, ali ...

In global terms, it's a little bit of money.

U globalnim terminima to je mala količina novca.

But it's going to modernize weapons

Ali poslužiti će za modernizaciju oružja

we do not need

koje ne trebamo

and will not be gotten rid of in our lifetime,

i kojeg se nećemo riješiti za vrijeme naših života,

unless we get up off our ...

osim ako ne ustanemo...

and take action to make it happen,

i poduzmemo akciju kako bi to i ostvarili --

unless we begin to believe

osim ako ne počnemo vjerovati

that all of the things that we've been hearing about

da su sve stvari o kojima smo slušali

in these last two days

u protekla dva dana

are elements of what come together

elementi onoga što može dovesti zajedno

to make human security.

ljudsku sigurnost.

It is saving the tigers.

To je spašavanje tigrova.

It is stopping the tar sands.

To je zaustavljanje katranskog pijeska.

It is having access

To je imati pristup

to medical equipment

medicinskoj opremi

that can actually tell who does have cancer.

koja može pokazati tko ima rak.

It is all of those things.

To su sve te stvari.

It is using our money for all of those things.

To je korištenje našeg novca za sve te stvari.

It is about action.

Radi se o akciji.

I was in Hiroshima

Bila sam u Hirošimi

a couple of weeks ago,

prije par tjedana,

and His Holiness --

i kod Njegove Svetosti --

we're sitting there in front of thousands of people in the city,

sjedimo tamo ispred tisuća ljudi u gradu

and there were about eight of us Nobel laureates.

i tamo je bilo oko osam nas nobelovih laureata.

And he's a bad guy. He's like a bad kid in church.

A on je opak momak; on je poput zločestog dječaka u crkvi.

We're staring at everybody, waiting our turn to speak,

Buljimo u sve, čekajući naš red da govorimo

and he leans over to me, and he says,

i on se nagne k meni i kaže,

"Jody, I'm a Buddhist monk."

"Jody, ja sam budistički monah".

I said, "Yes, Your Holiness.

Rekla sam, "Da, Vaša Svetosti.

Your robe gives it away."

Vaša odjeća vas odaje".

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

He said, "You know

On je rekao, "Znaš

that I kind of like meditation, and I pray."

kako ja volim meditaciju i ja se molim."

I said, "That's good. That's good.

Rekla sam, "To je dobro. To je dobro.

We need that in the world.

Trebamo to u svijetu.

I don't follow that, but that's cool."

Nisam sljedbenik, ali to je cool".

And he says, "But I have become skeptical.

A on kaže, "Ali postao sam skeptičan.

I do not believe

Ne vjerujem

that meditation and prayer

kako će meditacija i molitva

will change this world.

promijeniti ovaj svijet.

I think what we need

Mislim kako je nama potrebna

is action."

akcija".

His Holiness, in his robes,

Njegova Svetost, u svojoj odjeći,

is my new action hero.

je moj novi akcijski heroj.

I spoke with Aung Sun Suu Kyi

Pričala sam s Aung Sun Suu Kyi

a couple of days ago.

prije par dana.

As most of you know,

Kao što većina vas zna,

she's a hero for democracy in her country, Burma.

ona je heroj za demokraciju u svojoj zemlji, Mijanmaru.

You probably also know

Isto vjerojatno znate

that she has spent 15 of the last 20 years

kako je provela 15 od posljednjih 20 godina

imprisoned for her efforts

zatvorena zbog svojih napora

to bring about democracy.

u promoviranju demokracije.

She was just released a couple of weeks ago,

Puštena je prije samo par tjedana

and we're very concerned to see how long she will be free,

i jako smo zabrinuti oko toga koliko dugo će biti slobodna,

because she is already out in the streets in Rangoon,

jer je već vani na ulicama Rangoona,

agitating for change.

agitirajući za promijene.

She is already out in the streets, working with the party

Već je vani na ulici, radeći sa strankom

to try to rebuild it.

kako bi je pokušala ponovno izgraditi.

But I talked to her for a range of issues.

Razgovarala sam s njom o širokoj lepezi problema.

But one thing that I want to say,

Ali jedna stvar je koju želim reći,

because it's similar to what His Holiness said.

jer je slična onome što je Njegova Svetost rekla.

She said, "You know, we have a long road to go

Rekla je, "Znaš, dugačak je put pred nama

to finally get democracy in my country.

do konačne demokracije u mojoj zemlji.

But I don't believe in hope

Ali ne vjerujem u nadu

without endeavor.

bez napora.

I don't believe in the hope of change,

Ne vjerujem u nadu promijene,

unless we take action

osim ako ne poduzmemo akciju

to make it so."

kako bi to i ostvarili."

Here's another woman hero of mine.

Ovdje je još jedna žena moj heroj.

She's my friend, Dr. Shirin Ebadi,

Ona je moja prijateljica, Dr. Shirin Ebadi,

the first Muslim woman

prva muslimanka

to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

koja je dobila Nobelovu nagradu za mir.

She has been in exile

Ona je bila u izgnanstvu

for the last year and a half.

posljednjih godinu i pol.

You ask her where she lives -- where does she live in exile?

Pitajte je gdje živi -- gdje ona živi u izgnanstvu?

She says the airports of the world.

Ona kaže po svjetskim aerodromima.

She is traveling because she was out of the country

Ona putuje jer je bila izvan zemlje

at the time of the elections.

u vrijeme izbora.

And instead of going home,

I umjesto da ode doma,

she conferred with all the other women that she works with,

ona se konzultirala sa svim drugim ženama s kojima radi

who said to her, "Stay out. We need you out.

koje su joj rekle, "Ostani vani. Trebamo te vani.

We need to be able to talk to you out there,

Moramo biti u mogućnosti pričati s tobom tamo vani,

so that you can give the message

tako da možeš prenijeti poruku

of what's happening here."

što se događa ovdje."

A year and a half --

Godinu i pol --

she's out speaking

ona govori vani

on behalf of the other women in her country.

u ime drugih žena u svojoj zemlji.

Wangari Maathai --

Wangari Maathai --

2004 Peace laureate.

laureatkinja Nobela za mir 2004. godine.

They call her the "Tree Lady,"

Zovu je dama drva,

but she's more than the Tree Lady.

ali ona je puno više od dame drva.

Working for peace

Rad za mir

is very creative.

je vrlo kreativan.

It's hard work every day.

To je težak posao svaki dan.

When she was planting those trees,

Kada je sadila ta drveća,

I don't think most people understand

mislim kako većina ljudi nije shvatila

that, at the same time,

kako, u isto vrijeme,

she was using the action

koristi akciju

of getting people together to plant those trees

okupljanja ljudi koji bi posadili ta drveća

to talk about how to overcome

da pričaju o tome kako premostiti

the authoritarian government in her country.

autoritativnu vladu svoje zemlje.

People could not gather

Ljudi se nisu mogli okupiti

without getting busted and taken to jail.

bez da su bili uhićeni i odvedeni u zatvor.

But if they were together planting trees for the environment,

Ali kada su zajedno sadili drveće za okoliš,

it was okay --

to je bilo u redu --

creativity.

kreativnost.

But it's not just iconic women

Ali nisu samo žene ikone

like Shirin,

poput Shirin,

like Aung Sun Suu Kyi, like Wangari Maathai --

poput Aung Sun Suu Kyi, poput Wangari Maathai;

it is other women in the world

tu su i druge žene u svijetu

who are also struggling together

koje se zajedno bore

to change this world.

promijeniti ovaj svijet.

The Women's League of Burma,

Ženska Liga Mijanmara --

11 individual organizations of Burmese women

11 samostalnih organizacija mijanmarskih žena

came together because there's strength in numbers.

se okuplja jer postoji snaga u brojkama.

Working together is what changes our world.

Raditi zajedno je ono što mijenja naš svijet.

The Million Signatures Campaign

Kampanja za milijun potpisa

of women inside Burma

žena u Mijanmaru

working together to change human rights,

koje rade zajedno kako bi promijenile ljudska prava,

to bring democracy to that country.

kako bi dovele demokraciju u tu zemlju.

When one is arrested and taken to prison,

Kada je jedna uhićena i odvedena u zatvor,

another one comes out and joins the movement,

druga izađe van i pridruži se pokretu --

recognizing that if they work together,

uviđajući da, ako rade zajedno,

they will ultimately bring change

naposljetku će dovesti promijenu

in their own country.

u svoju zemlju.

Mairead McGuire in the middle,

Mairead McGuire u sredini,

Betty Williams on the right-hand side --

Betty Williams s desne strane --

bringing peace to Northern Ireland.

donoseći mir Sjevernoj Irskoj.

I'll tell you the quick story.

Ispričati ću vam kratku priču.

An IRA driver was shot,

Vozač IRA-e je ustrijeljen

and his car plowed into people

i njegov auto se zabio u ljude

on the side of the street.

sa strane ceste.

There was a mother and three children.

Tamo je bila majka i troje djece.

The children were killed on the spot.

Djeca su ubijena na licu mjesta.

It was Mairead's sister.

To je bila Maireadina sestra.

Instead of giving in

Umjesto predaje

to grief, depression, defeat

žalosti, depresiji, porazu

in the face of that violence,

u žaru tog nasilja,

Mairead hooked up with Betty --

Mairead se povezala s Betty --

a staunch Protestant and a staunch Catholic --

čvrsta protestantkinja i čvrsta katolkinja --

and they took to the streets

i otišle su na ulice

to say, "No more violence."

kako bi rekle, "Ne za još nasilja."

And they were able to get

I uspjele su dobiti

tens of thousands of, primarily, women, some men,

desetke tisuća, prvenstveno, žena -- neke muškarce --

in the streets to bring about change.

na ulice kako bi postigle promijenu.

And they have been

I one su bile

part of what brought peace to Northern Ireland,

dio onoga što je dovelo mir u Sjevernu Irsku

and they're still working on it,

i još uvijek rade na tome,

because there's still a lot more to do.

jer još uvijek ima puno toga za napraviti.

This is Rigoberta Menchu Tum.

Ovo je Rigoberta Menchu Tum.

She also received the Peace Prize.

Ona je isto primila Nobelovu nagradu za mir.

She is now running for president.

Sada se kandidira za predsjednicu.

She is educating the indigenous people of her country

Ona podučava domorodačke ljude svoje zemlje

about what it means to be a democracy,

o tome što znači imati demokraciju,

about how you bring democracy to the country,

o tome kako se može dovesti demokracija u zemlju,

about educating, about how to vote --

o educiranju o tome kako glasati --

but that democracy is not just about voting;

ali kako demokracija nije samo glasanje,

it's about being an active citizen.

već biti i aktivni građanin.

That's what I got stuck doing --

To je ono što i ja radim --

the landmine campaign.

kampanja za nagazne mine.

One of the things that made this campaign work

Jedna od stvari koja je omogućila funkcioniranje te kampanje

is because we grew from two NGOs

je zato jer smo narasli s dvije neprofitne organizacije

to thousands

na tisuće

in 90 countries around the world,

u 90 država diljem svijeta,

working together in common cause to ban landmines.

radeći zajedno u zajedničkoj svrsi da zabranimo nagazne mine.

Some of the people who worked in our campaign

Neki od ljudi koji su radili na našoj kampanji

could only work maybe an hour a month.

su možda mogli raditi samo jedan sat mjesečno.

They could maybe volunteer that much.

Možda su mogli samo toliko volontirati.

There were others, like myself,

Bili su i drugi, poput mene,

who were full-time.

koji su bili tamo puno radno vrijeme.

But it was the actions, together, of all of us

Ali akcije svih nas zajedno

that brought about that change.

su dovele do promijene.

In my view, what we need today

Moje mišljenje je da ono što trebamo danas

is people getting up

je da ljudi ustanu

and taking action

i krenu u akciju

to reclaim the meaning of peace.

kako bi vratili značenje mira.

It's not a dirty word.

To nije prljava riječ.

It's hard work every single day.

To je težak posao svaki dan.

And if each of us

I kada bi svatko

who cares about the different things we care about

tko mari o različitim stvarima od nas

got up off our butts

ustao sa svojih guzica

and volunteered

i volontirao

as much time as we could,

koliko god vremena je moguće,

we would change this world,

promijenili bismo ovaj svijet,

we would save this world.

spasili bi ovaj svijet.

And we can't wait for the other guy. We have to do it ourselves.

I ne možemo čekati na nekog drugoga; moramo to učiniti sami.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
