6 March 2014Mr. President, Distinguished Members of the Human Rights Council, Excellencies, Colleagues and friends,
2013 was a landmark year for OHCHR. The twentieth anniversaries of the Vienna Declaration and the establishment of the High Commissioner's mandate gave us an important opportunity to re-emphasize the universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights. They reminded us that you entrusted the High Commissioner with the responsibility of speaking out against discrimination, tyranny and disregard for fundamental values which rob our fellow human beings of their rights to live as equals, in dignity, free from fear and want.
