Doyen of world peace
In a fresh international achievement, to be added to the achievements of His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister, which reflects his standing and appreciation worldwide, the United Nations adopted a draft resolution submitted by the Kingdom to mark April 5 of each year as the “International Day of Conscience”.
This comes in response to the outstanding initiative suggested by His Royal Highness, in order to motivate the international community to resolve conflicts peacefully. The announcement by the United Nations marks a new international achievement for the Kingdom. At the same time, it reaffirms the prestige His Royal Highness the Prime Minister enjoys in recognition of his initiatives and efforts aimed at the promotion of world peace, international solidarity co-operation, and sustainable development.
The adoption of the draft resolution is an international recognition of the keenness of Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, to play an active role and a clear contribution to every international effort aimed at advancing humanity, achieving lasting security, stable peace and sustainable development throughout the countries of the world, a statement issued by the HRH the Premier’s office said.
The adoption of April 5th as an International Day of Conscience is a tool of mobilising the international community’s regular efforts to promote peace, tolerance, integration, and understanding in order to build a sustainable world, based on peace, and solidarity and harmony, said the United Nations in the preamble to the resolution adopted by the General Assembly at its 73rd session in July.
The International Organisation called upon all Member States, organisations of the United Nations system, other international and regional organisations, the private sector, civil society and individuals to celebrate this day appropriately, so as to support the building of a culture of peace with love and conscience in accordance with the culture of their local and regional communities.
The United Nations urged all Member States to continue promotion a culture of peace with love and conscience in order to help ensure peace and sustainable development, including through working with local communities, by providing services to others and encouraging amnesty and compassion among individuals.
The Prime Minister sent a message, which can be considered the first document in the world in this regard. He stressed a number of principles that were translated in the United Nations resolution on the 5th of April of as an international day of conscience.
His message reflected an integral vision calling for concerted efforts of the international community to activate the role of human conscience in achieving security, peace and stability in different parts of the world. In his message, HRH the Prime Minister said that “this day is an occasion to emphasise the need to unite the will of the international community to end the suffering of millions of people in many regions of the world, continue efforts to preserve the right to a secure and stable life and to sustain development that promotes human well-being.
“The celebration reflects the strong will of the peoples of the world to make the world conscience one of the cornerstones on which to advance the international collective action towards a more secure, peaceful and stable world,” HRH the Premier pointed out. “The world conscience must be more positive in facing all the reasons that undermine global security and stability,” he said. He stressed the importance of sticking to peaceful means to solve international problems and conflicts, in order to eliminate the causes of tension that hinder development efforts in the world.
He said that the international community should work in accordance with more integrated and comprehensive policies in confronting the problems of some countries in the world, especially poverty, destitution and disease. “We believe in the importance of the international community’s efforts to develop a comprehensive vision to address the security, political and economic challenges,” he said.
“We must start with peace and provide security and stability for all countries and we must take each other’s hands to live in the peace and security we seek,” HRH the Premier added. His message called for a comprehensive vision of world peace that respects rapprochement and communication as one of the cornerstones of the world’s development and progress. It is based on a fundamental axis: peace, security and stability as noble human values that deserve to work for and must prevail for the prosperity of humankind.
