Notes
The volumes in your hands contain the speeches delivered by Helen Clark during her two terms (2009 - 2017) as one of the senior-most officials of the United Nations, the Administrator of UNDP and the Chair of the United Nations Development Group. This collection represents the latest thinking in development policy and discusses the major challenges of our time. In these speeches, a clear voice speaks calmly about the need to stand for Human Rights, seen from the perspective – as Prof. Amartya Sen would have it – of development as freedom. “Sustainable development is also a means to realizing human rights” she states in Geneva, while expressing the view that we need to fight for both. In Dubai, she pronounces that “…from shrinking civic space to repression of freedom of speech and all the way through to war crimes and crimes against humanity, there are many assaults on human rights these days. The need to uphold human dignity is as urgent an imperative as it ever was".
