EXCERPT: "Mr Douglas, an Academy Award winning actor and UN Peace Messenger, spoke on the theme, A world in turmoil: Parliamentary cooperation and multilateralism for peace, justice and prosperity for all.

He warned the audience that “these are the most dangerous times of my life.” However, he observed that the United Nations and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) are doing incredible work to build bridges between peoples and governments, resolve long-standing conflicts, help fulfil human needs through sustainable development, build accountable governance and advance nuclear arms control and disarmament.

“I believe we can deliver a positive vision for the future, like the one I absorbed, almost through osmosis, growing up in parallel with the United Nations,” he said. “And I believe we can plant the seeds of a future – where might is not measured in missiles, but in the strength of institutions that deliver justice, freedom, and opportunity. In democracies free of corruption… societies free of want…and the next generation, free of fear.”"
