In addition, my Office has publicly warned against the risk of religious and sectarian tensions in a number of situations, most recently in the Central African Republic, Egypt, Myanmar and Syria. I have been extremely concerned about the situation, in the Central African Republic, where there is a high risk of violence along religious lines in a country where these communities have traditionally lived 'together peacefully. I plan to -visit the country in a near future to assess the situation there and appraise the Secretary General and the Security Council accordingly. Ladies and gentleman, Before I conclude, let me reiterate my belief that it is through our enduring faith in our common humanity that we can realize society premised on equality, justice and harmonious coexistence. We have to reaffirm our commitment to work together to advance religious tolerance among diverse, groups of our people. It is the responsibility of both state and non state actors to promote and guarantee fundamental rights for the majority and minorities alike. We cannot prevent conflicts and their underlying Consequences if we are unable to guarantee equal rights and dignity of the weaker and downtrodden in our midst. Given that populations are often targeted based on their identity of religious belief, this commitment is even more important in a globalised world, where migratory flows are contributing to making states more and more heterogeneous and less tolerant of the 'outsiders'. By taking active measures to respect and protect the rights of minorities, States create the conditions for social stability and cohesion, thus enhancing the rule of law arid respects of the fundamental rights and freedoms for all. I thank you very much for your attention.
