Dear Graduates,
 
We celebrate today the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This inspiring document is an extraordinary creation of visionary and courageous leaders who understood that it is only in provinding all the opportunities to develop their humanity that we can have the conditions for sustainable peace.
The world has changed much, for the better, as a result of the inspiration and guidance provided by this global compact. It has done so because of the hard work of people who day to day use their talent and effort to make these rights a reality for all.
I am very pleased to count each and everyone of you working for the right to education, a most important among those rights. In celebrating this anniversary I celebrate also your work, your commitment and your promise in advancing this right.
Take a moment today to remind yourself of the content of the declaration and to reflect on that this work in progress means to you;
