Youth from around the world gathered at the event to share, encourage and inspire global peace and tolerance.

In the speech, I stressed the acceleration of global human rights movement and explained the importance of UDHR in motivating millions of people around the world to respect human rights.All the delegates vowed to make the world better through human rights movement, and pledged to realise their goals.
