Passage 2

On behalf of all the membership of the United Nations，I hereby reaffirm the role of this inter national organization．When it was created more than 60 years ago，the United Nations reflected humanity’s greatest hopes for a just and peaceful global community．It still embodies that dream．We remain the only world institution with the legitimacy and scope that derive from global membership，and a mandate that encompasses development，security and human rights as well as the environment．//
    I restate that we are an organization without independent military capability，and we dispose of relatively modest resources in the economic realm．Yet our influence and impact on the world is far greater than many believe to be the case，and often more than we ourselves realize．This influence derives not from any exercise of power，but from the force of the values we represent．Among these values are the maintenance of world order and the establishment of world harmony．
