Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace

Prevodilac: Ivana Korom Lektor: Marija Milenovic

I was basically concerned about what was going on in the world.

Bio sam iskreno zabrinut u vezi sa događajima u svetu.

I couldn't understand

Nisam mogao da razumem

the starvation, the destruction,

gladovanje, uništavanje,

the killing of innocent people.

ubijanje nevinih ljudi.

Making sense of those things

Veoma je teško

is a very difficult thing to do.

razumeti takve stvari.

And when I was 12, I became an actor.

Sa dvanaest godina sam postao glumac.

I was bottom of the class. I haven't got any qualifications.

Bio sam najgori u razredu. Nemam nikakve kvalifikacije.

I was told I was dyslexic.

Rekli su mi da sam disleksičan.

In fact, I have got qualifications.

U stvari, imam kvalifikacije.

I got a D in pottery, which was the one thing that I did get --

Imam dvojku iz vajanja, što je jedino što sam dobio -

which was useful, obviously.

što je, očigledno, bilo korisno.

And so concern

Dakle, ovo sve

is where all of this comes from.

dolazi iz brige.

And then, being an actor, I was doing these different kinds of things,

Kao glumac, bavio sam se raznim stvarima.

and I felt the content of the work that I was involved in

Osećao sam da ono čime sam se bavio

really wasn't cutting it, that there surely had to be more.

nije bilo dovoljno, moralo je postojati još nešto.

And at that point, I read a book by Frank Barnaby,

Tada sam pročitao knjigu od Frenka Barnabija,

this wonderful nuclear physicist,

izvrsnog nuklearnog fizičara,

and he said that media had a responsibility,

koji je rekao da mediji imaju odgovornost,

that all sectors of society had a responsibility

da svi društveni sektori imaju odgovornost

to try and progress things and move things forward.

da pokušaju da učine napredak i podstaknu druge.

And that fascinated me,

To me je oduševilo, jer sam se

because I'd been messing around with a camera most of my life.

većim delom života zanimao kamerom.

And then I thought, well maybe I could do something.

Onda sam pomislio da bih mogao nešto da uradim.

Maybe I could become a filmmaker.

Možda bih mogao da snimam filmove.

Maybe I can use the form of film constructively

Možda film mogu konstruktivno da iskoristim

to in some way make a difference.

da nekako promenim stvari.

Maybe there's a little change I can get involved in.

Možda mogu da se uključim u neku malu promenu.

So I started thinking about peace,

Počeo sam da razmišljam o miru,

and I was obviously, as I said to you,

i kao što sam već rekao, veoma

very much moved by these images,

su me potresli ovakvi prizori,

trying to make sense of that.

pokušavao sam da ih shvatim.

Could I go and speak to older and wiser people

Da li bih mogao da razgovaram sa starijima

who would tell me how they made sense

i mudrijima koji bi objasnili kako shvataju

of the things that are going on?

sve te stvari koje se dešavaju?

Because it's obviously incredibly frightening.

Jer, očigledno, zaista je zastrašujuće.

But I realized that,

Ali shvatio sam, pošto sam se

having been messing around with structure as an actor,

kao glumac zanimao za strukturu,

that a series of sound bites in itself wasn't enough,

da serija citata sama po sebi nije dovoljna,

that there needed to be a mountain to climb,

bilo je potrebno popeti se na planinu,

there needed to be a journey that I had to take.

bio je potreban put kojim bih krenuo.

And if I took that journey,

Nije uopšte bilo bitno

no matter whether it failed or succeeded, it would be completely irrelevant.

da li bi to putovanje uspelo ili ne.

The point was that I would have something

Suština je bila da imam nešto gde gde

to hook the questions of -- is humankind fundamentally evil?

postavio pitanje - da li je čovečanstvo u suštini zlo?

Is the destruction of the world inevitable? Should I have children?

Da li je uništavanje sveta neizbežno? Da li da imam decu?

Is that a responsible thing to do? Etc., etc.

Da li je to odgovorno? Itd.

So I was thinking about peace,

Razmišljao sam o miru i

and then I was thinking, well where's the starting point for peace?

pitao se gde je početak mira?

And that was when I had the idea.

Tada sam dobio ideju.

There was no starting point for peace.

Nije postojala početna tačka mira.

There was no day of global unity.

Nije postojao dan globalnog ujedinjenja.

There was no day of intercultural cooperation.

Nije postojao dan međukulturne saradnje.

There was no day when humanity came together,

Dan kada bi se čovečanstvo ujedinilo,

separate in all of those things

nezavisno od drugih stvari

and just shared it together --

i samo podelilo među sobom to

that we're in this together,

da smo u ovome zajedno i ako

and that if we united and we interculturally cooperated,

se ujedinimo i sarađujemo međusobno,

then that might be the key to humanity's survival.

to može biti ključ opstanka čovečanstva.

That might shift the level of consciousness

To može pomeriti nivo svesti u odnosu

around the fundamental issues that humanity faces --

na ključne stvari s kojima se suočavamo -

if we did it just for a day.

kad bismo to uradili bar na jedan dan.

So obviously we didn't have any money.

Dakle, nismo uopšte imali novca.

I was living at my mom's place.

Živeo sam kod mame.

And we started writing letters to everybody.

Počeli smo svima da šaljemo pisma.

You very quickly work out what is it that you've got to do

Veoma brzo shvatite šta treba da uradite

to fathom that out.

da biste sproveli to u delo.

How do you create a day voted by every single head of state in the world

Kako da stvorite dan za čije osnivanje glasaju svi predsednici

to create the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,

u svetu, prvi Dan prestanka vatre i nasilja,

the 21st of September?

21. septembar?

And I wanted it to be the 21st of September

Želeo sam da to bude 21. septembar

because it was my granddad's favorite number.

jer je to bio omiljeni broj mom dedi.

He was a prisoner of war.

Bio je ratni zarobljenik.

He saw the bomb go off at Nagasaki.

Video je eksploziju bombe u Nagasakiju.

It poisoned his blood. He died when I was 11.

Ona mu je zatrovala krv. Umro je kad je meni bilo 11.

So he was like my hero.

Bio je moj heroj.

And the reason why 21 was the number is

A razlog za broj 21:

700 men left, 23 came back,

ostalo je 700 ljudi, 23 su se vratila,

two died on the boat and 21 hit the ground.

dvojica su umrla na brodu, 21 se iskrcao.

And that's why we wanted it to be the 21st of September as the date of peace.

Zbog toga smo želeli da datum bude 21. septembar.

So we began this journey,

Krenuli smo na ovaj put,

and we launched it in 1999.

i lansirali ga 1999.

And we wrote to heads of state, their ambassadors,

Pisali smo predsednicima, ambasadorima,

Nobel Peace laureates, NGOs, faiths,

nobelovcima, nevladinim, verskim i drugim

various organizations -- literally wrote to everybody.

raznim organizacijama - bukvalno, svima smo pisali.

And very quickly, some letters started coming back.

Veoma brzo su počela da stižu neka pisma.

And we started to build this case.

Počeli smo da gradimo ovaj slučaj.

And I remember the first letter.

Sećam se prvog pisma.

One of the first letters was from the Dalai Lama.

Jedno od prvih stiglo je od Dalaj Lame.

And of course we didn't have the money; we were playing guitars

Naravno da nismo imali novca; svirali smo gitare

and getting the money for the stamps that we were sending out all of [this mail].

i dobijali novac za markice za pisma koja smo slali.

A letter came through from the Dalai Lama saying,

Dalaj Lama je u pismu rekao:

"This is an amazing thing. Come and see me.

"Ovo je neverovatna stvar. Dođite kod mene.

I'd love to talk to you about the first ever day of peace."

Želeo bih da razgovaramo o prvom danu mira."

And we didn't have money for the flight.

Nismo imali novca za let.

And I rang Sir Bob Ayling, who was CEO of BA at the time,

Pozvao sam ser Boba Ejlinga, tadašnjeg direktora "British Airways"-a,

and said, "Mate, we've got this invitation.

i rekao: "Druže, dobili smo poziv.

Could you give me a flight? Because we're going to go see him."

Je l' bi mogao da nas prebaciš? Idemo da ga posetimo."

And of course, we went and saw him and it was amazing.

Naravno, otišli smo u posetu i bilo je neverovatno.

And then Dr. Oscar Arias came forward.

Onda je došao dr Oskar Arijas.

And actually, let me go back to that slide,

Da se vratim na taj slajd,

because when we launched it in 1999 --

jer počeli smo 1999. - ideja da se

this idea to create the first ever day of ceasefire and non-violence --

stvori Prvi svetski dan prestanka vatre i nasilja -

we invited thousands of people.

pozvali smo hiljade ljudi.

Well not thousands -- hundreds of people, lots of people --

Ne baš hiljade, stotine, mnogo ljudi,

all the press, because we were going to try and create

sve medije, jer smo pokušavali da stvorimo

the first ever World Peace Day, a peace day.

prvi Svetski dan mira, dan mira.

And we invited everybody,

Pozvali smo sve

and no press showed up.

i nijedan medij se nije pojavio.

There were 114 people there -- they were mostly my friends and family.

Bilo je tu 114 ljudi, uglavnom moji prijatelji i rodbina.

And that was kind of like the launch of this thing.

I to je bio početak ovoga.

But it didn't matter because we were documenting, and that was the thing.

Ali nije bilo bitno, jer snimali smo, to je važno.

For me, it was really about the process.

Za mene je važan bio proces.

It wasn't about the end result.

Ne samo konačni rezultat.

And that's the beautiful thing about the camera.

To je divna stvar u vezi s kamerom.

They used to say the pen is mightier than the sword. I think the camera is.

Govorilo se da je olovka moćnija od mača. Mislim da je to kamera.

And just staying in the moment with it was a beautiful thing

Ostajanje u trenutku gde je bila predivna stvar,

and really empowering actually.

zaista osnažujuća.

So anyway, we began the journey.

Dakle, počeli smo naš put. Ovde vidite

And here you see people like Mary Robinson, I went to see in Geneva.

Meri Robinson, koju sam posetio u Ženevi.

I'm cutting my hair, it's getting short and long,

Šišam kosu, bude kraća pa duža, jer

because every time I saw Kofi Annan,

svaki put kad bih se sastao sa Kofi Ananom

I was so worried that he thought I was a hippie that I cut it,

brinuo sam da će pomisliti da sam hipik pa sam se

and that was kind of what was going on.

šišao. To se zapravo dešavalo.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Yeah, I'm not worried about it now.

Da, više ne brinem o tome.

So Mary Robinson,

Dakle, Meri Robinson mi je rekla:

she said to me, "Listen, this is an idea whose time has come. This must be created."

"Došlo je vreme za ovu ideju. Ovo mora da se napravi."

Kofi Annan said, "This will be beneficial to my troops on the ground."

Kofi Anan je rekao: "Ovo će koristiti mojim trupama na terenu."

The OAU at the time, led by Salim Ahmed Salim,

Organizacija afričke unije, koju je vodio Salim Ahmed Salim,

said, "I must get the African countries involved."

kaže: "Moramo uključiti afričke zemlje."

Dr. Oscar Arias, Nobel Peace laureate,

Dr Oskar Arijas, nobelovac,

president now of Costa Rica,

sadašnji predsednik Kosta Rike,

said, "I'll do everything that I can."

rekao je: "Uradiću sve što mogu."

So I went and saw Amr Moussa at the League of Arab States.

Video sam se sa Amrom Musom iz Legije arapskih zemalja.

I met Mandela at the Arusha peace talks,

Sa Mendelom na mirovnim razgovorima u Aruši.

and so on and so on and so on --

I tako dalje i tako dalje,

while I was building the case

dok sam gradio priču

to prove whether this idea

da dokažem da bi ova ideja

would make sense.

imala smisla. Potom smo

And then we were listening to the people. We were documenting everywhere.

slušali ljude. Sve smo beležili.

76 countries in the last 12 years, I've visited.

Posetio sam 76 zemalja u poslednjih 12 godina.

And I've always spoken to women and children wherever I've gone.

Svuda sam pričao sa ženama i decom.

I've recorded 44,000 young people.

Snimio sam 44.000 mladih ljudi.

I've recorded about 900 hours of their thoughts.

Zabeležio oko 900 sati njihovih misli.

I'm really clear about how young people feel

Veoma sam jasan u vezi s osećanjima

when you talk to them about this idea

mladih ljudi kad razgovarate s njima o

of having a starting point for their actions for a more peaceful world

ideji da postoji početna tačka njihovih akcija za

through their poetry, their art, their literature,

mirniji svet kroz poeziju, umetnost, književnost,

their music, their sport, whatever it might be.

muziku, sport, šta god da je u pitanju.

And we were listening to everybody.

Slušali smo svakoga.

And it was an incredibly thing, working with the U.N.

Rad sa Ujedinjenim nacijama i nevladinim

and working with NGOs and building this case.

organizacijama na ovome bio je neverovatan.

I felt that I was presenting a case

Osećao sam da u ime globalne

on behalf of the global community

zajednice predstavljam tu ideju

to try and create this day.

da pokušamo da stvorimo ovaj dan.

And the stronger the case and the more detailed it was,

Što je ideja bila snažnija i detaljnija,

the better chance we had of creating this day.

postojalo je više šanse da se ostvari.

And it was this stuff, this,

Stvar je bila u tome da,

where I actually was in the beginning

bio sam zapravo na početku, mislio

kind of thinking no matter what happened, it didn't actually matter.

da bilo šta da se desi, nije važno.

It didn't matter if it didn't create a day of peace.

Nije bilo važno ako se ne stvori dan mira.

The fact is that, if I tried and it didn't work,

Poenta je da, ako pokušam i ne uspe,

then I could make a statement

onda mogu da kažem kako je

about how unwilling the global community is to unite --

globalna zajednica nevoljna da se ujedini,

until, it was in Somalia, picking up that young girl.

dok, u Somaliji, nisam podigao tu devojčicu.

And this young child

To dete kojem je odstranjeno

who'd taken about an inch and a half out of her leg with no antiseptic,

oko 3 cm noge bez antiseptika,

and that young boy who was a child soldier,

i taj dečak koji je dete-vojnik i

who told me he'd killed people -- he was about 12 --

koji je ubijao ljude, a imao je oko 12 godina,

these things made me realize

te stvari su me navele da uvidim

that this was not a film that I could just stop.

da ovo nije film od kog mogu da odustanem.

And that actually, at that moment something happened to me,

U tom trenutku mi se dogodilo nešto,

which obviously made me go, "I'm going to document.

zbog čega sam rekao: "Snimaću.

If this is the only film that I ever make,

Ako je ovo jedini film koji ću napraviti,

I'm going to document until this becomes a reality."

snimaću dok ne postane stvarnost."

Because we've got to stop, we've got to do something

Jer moramo da stanemo, da uradimo nešto

where we unite --

da se ujedinimo,

separate from all the politics and religion

nezavisno od politike i religije koje

that, as a young person, is confusing me.

me, kao mladu osobu, zbunjuju.

I don't know how to get involved in that process.

Ne znam kako da se uključim u taj proces.

And then on the seventh of September, I was invited to New York.

I onda, sedmog septembra, pozvan sam u Njujork.

The Costa Rican government and the British government

Vlada Kosta Rike i Britanije su

had put forward to the United Nations General Assembly,

na godišnjoj skupštini Ujedinjenih nacija,

with 54 co-sponsors,

pred 54 člana, stavile

the idea of the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,

ideju i prvom Danu prestanka vatre i nasilja,

the 21st of September, as a fixed calendar date,

sa fiksnim datumom, 21. septembrom

and it was unanimously adopted by every head of state in the world.

i jednoglasno je usvojen od strane svih svetskih lidera.

(Applause)

(aplauz)

Yeah, but there were hundreds of individuals, obviously, who made that a reality.

Da, stotine ljudi su doprinele tome da se to ostvari.

And thank you to all of them.

I hvala svima njima.

That was an incredible moment.

To je bio neverovatan trenutak.

I was at the top of the General Assembly just looking down into it and seeing it happen.

Stajao sam iznad generalne skupštine i gledao kako se to dešava.

And as I mentioned, when it started,

Rekao sam, kad je počinjalo,

we were at the Globe, and there was no press.

otišli smo do "Globe"-a, a novinara nije bilo.

And now I was thinking, "Well, the press it really going to hear this story."

Sad sam mislio: "Novinari će itekako ćuti za ovo".

And suddenly, we started to institutionalize this day.

Odjednom smo počeli da institucionalizujemo ovaj dan.

Kofi Annan invited me on the morning of September the 11th

Kofi Anan me je pozvao da ujutru 11. septembra

to do a press conference.

da održim konferenciju za novinare.

And it was 8:00 AM when I stood there.

Bilo je 8 ujutru kad sam stajao tamo.

And I was waiting for him to come down, and I knew that he was on his way.

Čekao sam da siđe, znao sam da stiže.

And obviously he never came down. The statement was never made.

Očigledno nije sišao. Saopštenje nije izdato.

The world was never told there was a day of global ceasefire and nonviolence.

Svet nije saznao da postoji dan globalnog mira i nenasilja.

And it was obviously a tragic moment

Bio je tragičan trenutak za

for the thousands of people who lost their lives,

hiljade ljudi koji su izgubili živote,

there and then subsequently all over the world.

tamo i posle toga širom planete.

It never happened.

Nije se dogodilo.

And I remember thinking,

Sećam se da sam mislio:

"This is exactly why, actually,

"Ovo je upravo razlog

we have to work even harder.

zašto moramo više da se trudimo.

And we have to make this day work.

Ovaj dan mora da uspe.

It's been created; nobody knows.

Stvoren je, a niko ne zna.

But we have to continue this journey,

Ali moramo nastaviti put,

and we have to tell people,

moramo reći ljudima

and we have to prove it can work."

i dokazati da može da uspe."

And I left New York freaked,

Njujork sam napustio prestravljen,

but actually empowered.

ali ipak osnažen.

And I felt inspired

Bio sam inspirisan

by the possibilities

mogućnostima da ako uspe,

that if it did, then maybe we wouldn't see things like that.

možda nećemo gledati na stvari na taj način.

I remember putting that film out and going to cynics.

Sećam se da sam pričao sa cinicima.

I was showing the film,

Pokazivao sam im film,

and I remember being in Israel and getting it absolutely slaughtered

a u Izraelu su ga neki ljudi potpuno

by some guys having watched the film --

raskomadali posle gledanja -

that it's just a day of peace, it doesn't mean anything.

to je samo jedan dan mira, ništa ne znači.

It's not going to work; you're not going to stop the fighting in Afghanistan;

Neće uspeti; nećeš zaustaviti rat u Avganistanu;

the Taliban won't listen, etc., etc.

Talibani neće poslušati, itd.

It's just symbolism.

To je samo simbolizam.

And that was even worse

A to je bilo gore od

than actually what had just happened in many ways,

svega drugog što se desilo,

because it couldn't not work.

jer nije moglo da ne uspe.

I'd spoken in Somalia, Burundi, Gaza, the West Bank,

Govorio sam u Somaliji, Burundiju, Gazi, Izraelu,

India, Sri Lanka, Congo, wherever it was,

Indiji, Šri Lanki, Kongu, svuda i

and they'd all tell me, "If you can create a window of opportunity,

svi bi rekli: "Ako stvoriš priliku,

we can move aid, we can vaccinate children.

možemo doneti pomoć, vakcinisati decu.

Children can lead their projects.

Deca mogu voditi svoje projekte.

They can unite. They can come together. If people would stop, lives will be saved."

Mogu da ujedine. Kad bi ljudi stali, njihovi životi bili bi spašeni."

That's what I'd heard.

To sam čuo.

And I'd heard that from the people who really understood what conflict was about.

I to od ljudi koji zaista razumeju konflikte.

And so I went back to the United Nations.

Vratio sam se u Ujedinjene nacije.

I decided that I'd continue filming and make another movie.

Odlučio sam da nastavim i snimim još jedan film.

And I went back to the U.N. for another couple of years.

Vraćao sam se u UN još dve godine.

We started moving around the corridors of the U.N. system,

Kretali smo se kroz sistem UN-a,

governments and NGOs,

vlada i nevladinih organizacija,

trying desperately to find somebody

očajno pokušavajući da nađemo nekoga

to come forward and have a go at it,

ko bi prišao i pokušao,

see if we could make it possible.

da vidi da li bismo uspeli.

And after lots and lots of meetings obviously,

Posle mnogo, mnogo sastanaka,

I'm delighted that this man, Ahmad Fawzi,

oduševljen sam da je Ahmad Fazi,

one of my heroes and mentors really,

jedan od mojih heroja i mentora,

he managed to get UNICEF involved.

uspeo da uključi UNICEF.

And UNICEF, God bless them, they said, "Okay, we'll have a go."

Hvala bogu, rekli su: "OK, mi ćemo probati."

And then UNAMA became involved in Afghanistan.

Onda se UNAMA uključila u Avganistanu.

It was historical. Could it work in Afghanistan

To je bilo legendarno. Može li uspeti

with UNAMA and WHO

u Avganistanu sa SZO,

and civil society, etc., etc., etc.?

UNAMA-om, civilnim društvom, itd?

And I was getting it all on film and I was recording it,

Sve sam snimao i beležio,

and I was thinking, "This is it. This is the possibility of it maybe working.

mislio: "To je to. Možda će sada uspeti.

But even if it doesn't, at least the door is open

I ako ne uspe, vrata su otvorena

and there's a chance."

i postoji mogućnost."

And so I went back to London,

Vratio sam se u London

and I went and saw this chap, Jude Law.

i video se sa Džud Louom.

And I saw him because he was an actor, I was an actor,

Sreli smo se jer je i on glumac, kao i ja.

I had a connection to him,

Povezao sam se s njim jer

because we needed to get to the press, we needed this attraction,

nam je bila potrebna atrakcija,

we needed the media to be involved.

potrebno da se mediji uključe.

Because if we start pumping it up a bit maybe more people would listen

Ako krenemo da dižemo buku možda će

and there'd be more --

sve više ljudi slušati -

when we got into certain areas,

i kad uđemo u određene kanale,

maybe there would be more people interested.

možda će se više ljudi zainteresovati.

And maybe we'd be helped financially a little bit more,

Možda ćemo dobiti više finansijske pomoći,

which had been desperately difficult.

što je bilo užasno teško.

I won't go into that.

Neću ulaziti u to.

So Jude said, "Okay, I'll do some statements for you."

Džud je rekao: "Ok, daću neke izjave."

While I was filming these statements, he said to me, "Where are you going next?"

Dok sam snimao, rekao je: "Gde ideš dalje?"

I said, "I'm going to go to Afghanistan." He said, "Really?"

"U Avganistan." "Stvarno?"

And I could sort of see a little look in his eye of interest.

Video sam mu u očima da se zainteresovao.

So I said to him, "Do you want to come with me?

Pitao sam: "Hoćeš sa mnom?

It'd be really interesting if you came.

Bilo bi interesantno da pođeš.

It would help and bring attention.

Pomoglo bi da dobijemo pažnju.

And that attention

A ta pažnja bi pomogla

would help leverage the situation,

da situacija dobije na ozbiljnosti

as well as all of the other sides of it."

ali i za neke druge strane."

I think there's a number of pillars to success.

Postoji nekoliko stubova uspeha.

One is you've got to have a great idea.

Prvo morate imati sjajnu ideju.

The other is you've got to have a constituency, you've got to have finance,

Drugo, morate imati podršku, finansije,

and you've got to be able to raise awareness.

i morate podići svest.

And actually I could never raise awareness by myself, no matter what I'd achieved.

To nisam mogao sam, bez obzira na moja dostignuća.

So these guys were absolutely crucial.

Ovi momci su bili od velike važnosti.

So he said yes,

Rekao je da želi,

and we found ourselves in Afghanistan.

i našli smo se u Avganistanu.

It was a really incredible thing that when we landed there,

Kada smo sleteli, bilo je neverovatno,

I was talking to various people, and they were saying to me,

pričao sam sa raznim ljudima koji su govorili:

"You've got to get everybody involved here.

"Moraš da uključiš sve ljude.

You can't just expect it to work. You have to get out and work."

Ne očekuj da uspe samo od sebe. Moraš da radiš."

And we did, and we traveled around,

I jesmo, putovali smo, razgovarali

and we spoke to elders, we spoke to doctors, we spoke to nurses,

sa vojnicima, lekarima, sestrama,

we held press conferences, we went out with soldiers,

održavali konferencije, išli sa vojnicima,

we sat down with ISAF, we sat down with NATO,

sedeli sa ISAF-om i NATO-om,

we sat down with the U.K. government.

sa britanskom vladom.

I mean, we basically sat down with everybody --

Sa svima smo imali sastanke -

in and out of schools with ministers of education,

sa ministrima obrazovanja u školama,

holding these press conferences,

održavali konferencije za novinare,

which of course, now were loaded with press, everybody was there.

koje su sad vrvele od novinara, svi su došli.

There was an interest in what was going on.

Postojalo je interesovanje za ove događaje.

This amazing woman, Fatima Gailani, was absolutely instrumental in what went on

Ova neverovatna žena, Fatima Magalani, bila je ključna

as she was the spokesperson for the resistance against the Russians.

u događajima, jer je govorila u ime pokreta otpora

And her Afghan network

protiv Rusa. A njena mreža u Avganistanu

was just absolutely everywhere.

je bila proširena svuda.

And she was really crucial in getting the message in.

Bila je ključna prilikom prenošenja poruke.

And then we went home. We'd sort of done it.

Onda smo otišli kući. Obavili posao.

We had to wait now and see what happened.

Trebalo je da čekamo i vidimo šta će biti.

And I got home,

Stigao sam kući i sećam se

and I remember one of the team bringing in a letter to me

da mi je neko iz tima doneo pismo

from the Taliban.

od Talibana.

And that letter basically said, "We'll observe this day.

U njemu je pisalo: "Posmatraćemo ovaj dan.

We will observe this day.

Posmatraćemo ovaj dan.

We see it as a window of opportunity.

Vidimo ga kao mogućnost.

And we will not engage. We're not going to engage."

Nećemo pucati. Nećemo otvarati vatru."

And that meant that humanitarian workers

To je značilo da humanitarni radnici

wouldn't be kidnapped or killed.

neće biti kidnapovani ili ubijeni.

And then suddenly, I obviously knew at this point, there was a chance.

Odjednom, znao sam da postoji šansa.

And days later,

Danima kasnije, 1.6 miliona

1.6 million children were vaccinated against polio

dece je vakcinisano protiv dečije paralize,

as a consequence of everybody stopping.

kao posledica zaustavljanja rata.

(Applause)

(aplauz)

And like the General Assembly,

Kao na godišnjoj skupštini,

obviously the most wonderful, wonderful moment.

bio je to predivan trenutak.

And so then we wrapped the film up and we put it together

Potom smo završili film i montirali

because we had to go back.

jer smo morali da se vratimo.

We put it into Dari and Pashto. We put it in the local dialects.

Preveli smo ga na Dari i Pašto, na lokalne dijalekte.

We went back to Afghanistan,

Vratili smo se u Avganistan jer

because the next year was coming, and we wanted to support.

je dolazila sledeća godina i želeli smo da budemo podrška.

But more importantly, we wanted to go back,

Važnije od toga, želeli smo da se vratimo

because these people in Afghanistan were the heroes.

jer su ti ljudi u Avganistanu heroji.

They were the people who believed in peace

Oni su verovali u mir i u

and the possibilities of it, etc., etc. -- and they made it real.

mogućnosti mira i ostvarili ga.

And we wanted to go back and show them the film

Želeli smo da im pokažemo film i

and say, "Look, you guys made this possible. And thank you very much."

kažemo, "Vidite, ovo ste vi ostvarili. Mnogo

And we gave the film over.

vam hvala." Predali smo im film.

Obviously it was shown, and it was amazing.

Prikazan je i bio je sjajan.

And then that year, that year, 2008,

Te godine, 2008, stigla je

this ISAF statement from Kabul, Afghanistan, September 17th:

sledeća izjava od ISAF-a, 17. septembra:

"General Stanley McChrystal,

"General Stenli MekKristal, zapovednik

commander of international security assistance forces in Afghanistan,

međunarodnih snaga za bezbednosnu pomoć u Avganistanu,

announced today ISAF will not conduct offensive military operations

objavio je danas da ISAF neće sprovoditi ofanzivne vojne

on the 21st of September."

operacije 21. septembra."

They were saying they would stop.

To je značilo da će stati.

And then there was this other statement

Stigla je i druga izjava iz

that came out from the U.N. Department of Security and Safety

Odeljenja za sigurnost i bezbednost

saying that, in Afghanistan,

koja kaže da je, zahvaljujući

because of this work,

ovom radu, nasilje u Avganistanu

the violence was down by 70 percent.

smanjeno za 70%.

70 percent reduction in violence on this day at least.

Barem na ovaj dan, nasilje je smanjeno za 70%.

And that completely blew my mind

To me je potpuno oduševilo

almost more than anything.

više nego išta drugo.

And I remember being stuck in New York, this time because of the volcano,

Bio sam u zarobljen u Njujorku, zbog vulkana,

which was obviously much less harmful.

koji je očito bio manje štetan.

And I was there thinking about what was going on.

Tamo sam razmišljao o tome šta se dešavalo.

And I kept thinking about this 70 percent.

Razmišljao sam o tih 70%.

70 percent reduction in violence --

Smanjenje nasilja za 70% -

in what everyone said was completely impossible

svi su rekli da je to nemoguće

and you couldn't do.

i neizvodljivo. To me je navelo

And that made me think that, if we can get 70 percent in Afghanistan,

da mislim da, ako možemo u Avganistanu

then surely we can get 70 percent reduction everywhere.

smanjiti nasilje za 70%, onda možemo svuda.

We have to go for a global truce.

Moramo pokušati globalno primirje.

We have to utilize this day of ceasefire and nonviolence

Moramo iskoristiti ovaj dan prestanka vatre i nenasilja

and go for a global truce,

da ostvarimo globalno primirje,

go for the largest recorded cessation of hostilities,

najveći zabeležen prestanak neprijateljstva

both domestically and internationally, ever recorded.

na domaćim i međunarodnim teritorijama.

That's exactly what we must do.

Upravo to moramo učiniti.

And on the 21st of September this year,

I 21. septembra ove godine ćemo

we're going to launch that campaign at the O2 Arena

lansirati tu kampanju u O2 Areni,

to go for that process,

pokrenućemo akciju da

to try and create the largest recorded cessation of hostilities.

pokušamo da stvorimo najveće zabeleženo primirje.

And we will utilize all kinds of things --

Sve ćemo iskoristiti -

have a dance and social media

žurku, društvene medije, posete

and visiting on Facebook and visit the website, sign the petition.

Fejsbuku, vebsajtu, potpisivanje peticije.

And it's in the six official languages of the United Nations.

Ona postoji na 6 zvaničnih jezika UN-a.

And we'll globally link with government, inter-government,

Povezaćemo se sa vladom, među vladama,

non-government, education, unions, sports.

NVO, obrazovanjem, unijama, sportom.

And you can see the education box there.

Ovde je odeljak obrazovanja.

We've got resources at the moment in 174 countries

Trenutno imamo resurse u 174 zemlje

trying to get young people to be the driving force

i pokušavamo da navedemo mlade da budu

behind the vision of that global truce.

pokretači vizije globalnog primirja.

And obviously the life-saving is increased, the concepts help.

Spašavanje života je povećano, ova ideja pomaže.

Linking up with the Olympics --

Povezivanje sa Olimpijskim igrama -

I went and saw Seb Coe. I said, "London 2012 is about truce.

video sam Seba Koa, rekoh: "Tema u Londonu

Ultimately, that's what it's about."

2012 biće primirje."

Why don't we all team up? Why don't we bring truce to life?

Zašto se svi ne udružimo? Zašto ne ostvarimo primirje?

Why don't you support the process of the largest ever global truce?

Zašto ne biste podržali proces najvećeg primirja na svetu?

We'll make a new film about this process.

O tome ćemo snimiti novi film.

We'll utilize sport and football.

Koristićemo sport i fudbal.

On the Day of Peace, there's thousands of football matches all played,

Na Dan mira, igraće se hiljade fudbalskih mečeva,

from the favelas of Brazil to wherever it might be.

od favela u Brazilu do svih mesta u svetu.

So, utilizing all of these ways

Koristićemo sve ovo da

to inspire individual action.

inspirišemo pojedince na akciju.

And ultimately, we have to try that.

Na kraju, moramo pokušati.

We have to work together.

Moramo da radimo zajedno.

And when I stand here in front of all of you,

Kad stojim ovde pred svima vama

and the people who will watch these things,

i ljudima koji ovo gledaju,

I'm excited, on behalf of everybody I've met,

uzbuđen sam, u ime svih koje sam sreo,

that there is a possibility that our world could unite,

što postoji mogućnost da se svet ujedini,

that we could come together as one,

da budemo svi kao jedno, da

that we could lift the level of consciousness around the fundamental issues,

podignemo nivo svesti o osnovnim pitanjima

brought about by individuals.

koja donose pojedinci.

I was with Brahimi, Ambassador Brahimi.

Bio sam sa ambasadorom Ibrahimijem.

I think he's one of the most incredible men

On je jedan on najneverovatnijih ljudi

in relation to international politics -- in Afghanistan, in Iraq.

u međunarodnoj politici - u Avganistanu i Iraku.

He's an amazing man.

Neverovatan čovek.

And I sat with him a few weeks ago.

Videli smo se pre nekoliko nedelja.

And I said to him, "Mr. Brahimi, is this nuts, going for a global truce?

Rekao sam mu: "G. Ibrahimi, jel' globalno primirje luda ideja?

Is this possible? Is it really possible that we could do this?"

Da li je zaista moguće da ovo uradimo?"

He said, "It's absolutely possible."

Rekao je: "Apsolutno je moguće."

I said, "What would you do?

Pitao sam: "Šta biste uradili?

Would you go to governments and lobby and use the system?"

Da li biste lobirali i koristili sistem?"

He said, "No, I'd talk to the individuals."

Rekao je: "Ne, razgovarao bih sa pojedincima."

It's all about the individuals.

Sve je na pojedincima.

It's all about you and me.

Na Vama i meni.

It's all about partnerships.

Sve je u partnerstvu.

It's about your constituencies; it's about your businesses.

U podršci, u tvojim poslovima.

Because together, by working together,

Jer zajedničkim radom, zaista

I seriously think we can start to change things.

mislim da možemo pokrenuti promene.

And there's a wonderful man sitting in this audience, and I don't know where he is,

Jedan divan čovek je u publici, ne znam gde,

who said to me a few days ago -- because I did a little rehearsal --

koji mi je pre nekoliko dana, na probi,

and he said, "I've been thinking about this day

rekao: "Razmišljam o ovom danu i

and imagining it as a square

zamišljam ga kao kvadrat

with 365 squares,

sa 365 kvadrata

and one of them is white."

i jedan od njih je beo."

And it then made me think about a glass of water, which is clear.

Pomislio sam na čašu vode, koja je bistra.

If you put one drop,

Ako sipate jednu kap

one drop of something, in that water,

nečega u vodu, ona će

it'll change it forever.

se promeniti zauvek.

By working together, we can create peace one day.

Zajedničkim naporima možemo stvoriti mir jednog dana.
