We all gathered in one place.

GV Radio will bring our listeners content from all over the world and in different languages, reflecting the diversity of our global community.

So to sum up language is a collective human creation, reflecting human nature, how we conceptualize reality, how we relate to one another.

Every two weeks, we will feature audio content from new podcast partners, who were identified by our community or suggested by our listeners.

Our community has been creating and curating sounds from around the world, which you can access on your computer or mobile device.

Only a few weeks ago, we assembled in this very Hall to commemorate the liberation of the Nazi camps and to pay tribute to the memory of the innumerable victims of those factories of death.

But even more than that, it means understanding one's connection to the whole of creation understanding that one is part of that creation, that there is a unity that underlies all that we see, all that we hear, all that we feel.

Members of our community have also been contributing with original programming of their own, such as an Iranian music podcast created by our Lingua Farsi editor Mazyar Mahdavifar and an African music show called Africa Cheza by James Propa.

Today we are all looking forward to a miracle that would make us all live in one city. So we can summon up the courage to dream of going back to having one state where we are all united in freedom.

We are gathered here in this forum because the challenges faced by humankind in the area of global development, security and protection of human rights bring us together in our search for common solutions that call for clear political decisions.

We know the ties of friendship, sensuality and love that unite us in the bar, the fraternal experiences, the jokes, the music that we share when we dance and laugh, free to be who we are, far from the judging glare of those who hate us.

Later, outside a dusty parking lot where new arrivals wait for the infrequent buses that will take them to processing camps in Mytilene, a familiar laugh reunites us with Wissam, a Palestinian journalist and resident of Yarmouk refugee camp.

Now this story doesn't start with vast telescopes or futuristic spacecraft, but a rather more humble technology and in fact, the very medium which gave us the telecommunications revolution that we're all part of today the telephone.

The success of those negotiations indicate that, in spite of our differences and individual sovereign interests, Member States recognize that we have more things in common than things that divide us and that, for a better world, common interests must enjoy precedence over individual interests.

One of a dozen Pakistanis who came to TEDIndia despite security hassles entering the country, TED Fellow Asher Hasan shows photos of ordinary Pakistanis that drive home a profound message for citizens of all nations look beyond disputes, and see the humanity we share.

When I made those same points in a wrap up to the Civil Society Summit as a whole, I was interrupted by none other than US president Barack Obama, who was in Moscow for his summit with President Dmitry Medvedev but also took the time to listen our gathering of civil society organizations.

To conclude, I would like to state that the challenges of today's world, instead of leading us to characterize and judge, should bring us together to cooperate and unite our best efforts and resources in order to overcome those challenges and achieve the well being that we dream for our peoples.
