Speech by Mrs Hendricks, Dubrovnik, 31 December 1991 (English version)
  The Dream

I have a dream...

... a dream that there will exist in the very near future a new world order based on the defence and protection of human rights, the one common struggle that unites us all and excludes no one.

... a dream that we will work together to solve the many global problems with which we are confronted on this planet in order not to perish together.

... a dream that we will be able to sit down together and resolve our differences without resorting to violence, barbarism and destruction.

... a dream that each child will be able to grow up with dignity and realize his own potential.

... a dream that we will assume our responsibility and duty as citizens of the global community to cry out against injustice and suffering, and to dare to interfere.

... a dream that this very near future will begin here, this day, in Dubrovnik.
