00:11Good afternoon.
00:14The 10,113 meeting of the Security Council is called to order.
00:27The provisional agenda for this meeting is
00:32Maintenance of International Peace and Security
00:36Children, Technology and Education in Conflict
00:41I shall now make a statement in my capacity as First Lady of the United States
00:49First, my heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their heroes
00:56Who sacrificed their lives for freedom
00:59Their bravery and dedication will always be remembered
01:04I extend my earnest wishes for a swift and smooth recovery
01:09To all those who have been injured
01:12You are in my thoughts and prayers during these challenging times
01:18The U.S. stands with all of the children throughout the world
01:22I hope soon peace will be yours
01:30Peace does not need to be fragile
01:34Enduring peace will be achieved when knowledge and understanding
01:39Are fully valued within all societies
01:44A nation that makes learning sacred protects its books
01:49Its language, its science and its mathematics
01:53It protects its future
01:55This leads to something powerful
01:58To greater understanding, moral reasoning and tolerance of others
02:05Peace
02:08Children, race in a culture rooted in intelligence
02:12Develop confidence
02:14Innovate, build, compete
02:17And maintain a deep value system
02:20Their knowledge fosters empathy for others
02:24Transcending geography, religion, race, gender
02:29And even local norms
02:32They become caring people
02:37But children, race in culture rooted in ignorance
02:41Are surrounded by disorder
02:44And sometimes even conflict
02:46These societies are filled with rigid thinkers
02:51Who embrace pro-justice and shone human dignity
02:57The path to peace depends on us
03:00Taking responsibility to empower our children
03:03Through education and technology
03:13I encourage you to pledge to safeguard learning in our communities
03:18And promote access to heightened education for all
03:23I implore you to build a future generation
03:27Of leaders who embrace peace through education
03:31Thank you
