Ban Ki-moon
South Korean - Leader
Born: June 13, 1944

The basic building block of peace and security for all peoples is economic and social security, anchored in sustainable development. It is a key to all problems. Why? Because it allows us to address all the great issues-poverty, climate, environment and political stability-as parts of the whole.

Ban Ki-moon

The invention of the concept of sustainable human development and that of so-called human security, as opposed to territorial security of nation- states, and its promotion by the UN is in clear contradiction to all that we, the Group of 77, and the UN Charter itself consider inalienable, namely national sovereignty and security.

Pranab Mukherjee

Actually, the phrase "national security" is barely used until the 1930s. And there's a reason. By then, the United States was beginning to become global. Before that the United States had been mostly a regional power - Britain was the biggest global power. After the Second World War, national security is everywhere, because we basically owned the world, so our security is threatened everywhere. Not just on our borders, but everywhere - so you have to have a thousand military bases around the world for "defense."

Noam Chomsky

Queen Noor of Jordan

The respect for the rights of minorities that China's Tibetan and Uighur activists champion would prevent instability that could spill across China's borders.

Tom Malinowski

Climate change knows no borders. It will not stop before the Pacific islands and the whole of the international community here has to shoulder a responsibility to bring about a sustainable development.

Angela Merkel

Borders are scratched across the hearts of men By strangers with a calm, judicial pen, And when the borders bleed we watch with dread The lines of ink across the map turn red.

Marya Mannes

No sustainable development, environmental harmony or lasting security will happen if we are unable to eradicate hunger and extreme inequality

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

The thing that the Internet does is it allows labor to move freely across borders in the way that capital does but, traditionally, labor cannot. So the Internet frees workers to be based anywhere and work for employers anywhere.

Leila Janah

Extreme poverty anywhere is a threat to human security everywhere.

Kofi Annan

As the president of a cutting-edge research and development firm, I deal with the development of solutions to long-term national security and renewable energy problems every day and will bring this same perspective to Congress.

Raja Krishnamoorthi

There can be no sustainable development without sustainable energy development

Margot Wallstrom

Gender based violence anywhere is a threat to peace and security everywhere.

John F. Kerry

We know the problems, and we know the solution: sustainable development. The issue is the political will.

Tony Blair

We are far from the so called 'end of history,' since the conditions for a sustainable and peaceful development have not yet been adequately articulated and realized.

Pope Francis
