英国外交大臣黑格在“结束冲突中性暴力全球峰会”上的闭幕致辞

It’s with a sense of great pride and humility and renewed optimism that I welcome you to the closing plenary of the global summit after what has been a remarkable three-days, all dynamic and often inspiring activity. I think we can be pleased with what we have achieved in that time of how together we have opened the eyes of the world to this issue and agreed some vital, practical steps which must now be implemented to make a real difference on the ground. I think we’ve all been impressed by the commitment, the bravery, the dedication of survivors, activists and leaders, many of whom have worked on these issues for years without the global support they deserve and whose efforts are a constant source of inspiration. And in particular, I want to thank all those organizations, individuals and activists who’ve been working in the fringe, which has been remarkable and making it a resounding success. And I am optimistic because I know the passion and the political will that has been demonstrated here has the potential to make an enormous difference for years to come, provided we follow it up. So as well as looking back this morning, I hope we can also look ahead to what we will do in the future to sustain the momentum that we’ve built for the long term and decisively turned the tide on this issue.
