  1. “Lastly, Hungary is of the view that education is one of the most powerful weapons against discrimination and inequality. We believe that the realization of the right to education is the cornerstone of lasting peace, since ignorance, misunderstanding, the erosion of culture and the loss of cultural identities are often the starting points for fanaticism. Education has an important role both in preventing conflicts and in post-conflict peacebuilding. For that reason, Hungary welcomes a strong, stand-alone sustainable development goal on inclusive education, which includes a target on the promotion of a culture of peace, nonviolence and appreciation for cultural diversity.”

  2. “Hungary strongly condemns all forms of discrimination and exclusion based on race, ethnicity, religion or any other status. For example, the Hungarian Government has announced a zero- tolerance policy against anti-Semitism. Across the world, crimes committed against religious and ethnic minorities or other vulnerable groups demonstrate where radicalization and hatred can lead us. It also helps us realize that the only way to achieve and preserve peace within and among societies is through dialogue, tolerance and respect for cultural diversity. In that context, we actively promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue and cooperation. We will continue to make every effort to build bridges among various faiths, cultures and traditions.”

  3. “In order to overcome that challenge, the Hungarian National Social Inclusion Strategy sets forth a comprehensive approach with projects in the areas of child welfare, education, employment, health care, housing and the fight against discrimination. As part of those efforts, Hungary supports the education of Roma children through a scholarship programme, promotes entrepreneurship and job opportunities for Roma women through microcredit projects and skills development and supports the access of Roma families to improved housing. We have also established mechanisms to ensure the effective participation of minorities, including the Roma, at various levels of political decision-making, from the local government level to Parliament.”

  4. “We also support draft sustainable development goal 5, on gender equality. In the framework of gender equality, aspects related to the family as a whole and to its members need to be duly considered. We strongly support development efforts that are aimed at strengthening and protecting the vulnerable by creating policies in particular in the areas ofwork, social security, social protection, dignity and integrity, education and public security. The 20- year review of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action provides another opportunity to highlight these issues. In our corner of the world, and in Hungary in particular, one of the most serious impediments to inclusive development is the situation of vulnerable groups living in poverty, including the Roma population.”

  5. “Hungary fully supports the statement of the European Union. Building on that, allow me to add some remarks on some special challenges. Hungary recognizes the power, unique skills and role of women in peace and development. Empowering women by investing in their education, providing them with economic opportunities, strengthening their leadership capacities and engaging them in decision-making are in each society's best interest. That is especially relevant in places where peace had broken down and conflict has shifted focus away from cooperation towards division and hatred. We also commend the Secretary-General for choosing the empowerment of women and children as one of his priorities for 2015. Gender equality is an important public issue in Hungary and is reflected in policy decisions.”

  6. “I wish to thank Chile for convening this timely open debate. I also wish to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Ambassador Patriota of Brazil and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ms. Leymah Gbowee for their informative briefings this morning. Hungary, as co-Chair of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, worked with Member States to ensure that draft goal 16 of the outcome document explicitly recongizes the link among peace, inclusion, sustainable development, justice and accountability. Based on those joint efforts, Member States agreed by consensus that the rule of law, equal access to justice, effective, accountable and transparent institutions, as well as responsive, inclusive and representative decision-making at all levels are equally necessary for establishing peaceful and inclusive societies.”
