16 November 2009. New York - Kyiv - Secretary-General's message on the International Day for Tolerance
"Globalization continues to bring people closer
together. Internet chatrooms and social networking sites enable us to
connect with people we will never meet. Global branding and the growth
of international social and cultural movements expose us on a daily
basis to the tastes, opinions and habits of our fellow men and women.
We have more ways than ever to communicate with each other and to
benefit from cross-cultural exchanges.
