H. E. Dr. Hassan Rouhani
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
Sept. 24, 2013 before the UN General Assembly
“Nuclear weapon and other weapons of mass destruction have no place in Iran’s security and defense doctrine,
and contradict our fundamental religious and ethical convictions.
Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran invites you and the entire world community to take a
step forward; an invitation to join the WAVE: World Against Violence and Extremism. We
should accept and be able to open a new horizon in which peace will prevail over war, tolerance
over violence, progress over bloodletting, justice over discrimination, prosperity over poverty,
and freedom over despotism.
Not withstanding all difficulties and challenges, I am deeply optimistic about the future. I
have no doubt that the future will be bright with the entire world solidly rejecting violence and
extremism.”
But we need to go deeper in our commitment…
Are we prepared to take the pledge?
