Goa 30 July 2016: “When greed supersedes concerns about the health of our planet or its inhabitants, when fanatic attachment to ideology is pursued at all costs, and when people suffer human rights violations because they are considered somehow less than equal, the heritage of humanity is betrayed and our future well being is placed in peril, On this International Day of Friendship, let us resolve to cherish and cultivate as many warm relationships as possible, enriching our own lives and enhancing the future.” Sandeep Marwah Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization affiliated to United Nations read the message of UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon in a small event at Hotel Taj Vivanta Holiday Village, Goa.
