Radhika Coomaraswamy quotes:

The human rights we are to discuss here at Vienna are . . . the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.

We must let the world know children's stories and we must take effective protective, legal and political actions to ensure that as many children as possible are spared the brutalities of war. Our joint action has, and will, make a difference, if only we make the effort.
