"We in South Africa were involved in a long and bloody struggle. Eventually we realised a very important truth: True peace, security, can never come from the barrel of a gun. These greatly sought after conditions come only when the human rights of all are recognised and respected. That is the only way it can happen any and everywhere. Human rights are universal or they are nothing.
In our part of the world, we talk about Ubuntu, the essence of being human, we say a person is a person through other persons, we are bound together in what has been called the bundle of life. Ubuntu says you need to be all you can be in order that I can be all I can be. We can be prosperous only together. We can be safe and secure only together. We can be free only together. Ultimately, we can be human only together.” ~ Desmont Tutu
