"It is particularly important to strengthen the status of human rights issues within the United Nations. Our decision to set up a human rights council is an excellent. But all the modalities need to be resolved as a matter of urgency. And, for the real progress, we must ensure that enough women will participate in the work of these new bodies."
3. Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf speaking at podium
4. Cutaway Pakistan delegation
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan President :
"Our nations must not remain trapped by hate and history in a cycle of confrontation and conflict. For this to happen, it is essential to find a just solution of the dispute over Jammu and Kashmir acceptable to Pakistan, India and, above all, to the people of Kashmir."
6. Zimbabwe President Mugabe walking to podium
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe:
"We have witnessed instances where the sovereignty and territorial integrity of small and weak countries have been violated by the mighty and powerful in defiance of agreed rules of procedure and provisions of the United Nations charter. Even on the basis of contrived lies, lies told in order to create a basis for aggression, and we have seen that aggression occur, even in the context of the so-called coalition. A coalition to defy international law becomes an aggressor coalition. It becomes, indeed, a coalition of evil."
8. South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun walking to podium
9. SOUNDBITE: (Korean) Roh Moo-hyun, South Korean President:
"It is my hope that northeast Asia will see the realisation of relations akin to those we see in Europe. For this will open an entirely new chapter in the history of northeast Asia, which in turn will contribute to global peace and prosperity."
