Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 21 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Friday said that in light of emerging technologies posing unprecedented challenges, the world needs a more just, inclusive, and responsive global system.
Addressing the 26th ICCJW (International Conference of Chief Justices of the World), he emphasised that even 80 years after its adoption, the UN Declaration remains relevant today.
He further emphasised that, whether addressing the challenge of global warming or finding solutions to the world crisis, India's perspective can provide a path forward.
"While emerging technologies are making life easier, they also pose unprecedented challenges, including cybercrime, data theft, and many other new problems. At such a time, justice and morality can play a vital role in shaping global peace and human civilization. We should reconsider the UN's declaration 80 years ago: that the world needs a more just, inclusive, and responsive global system. Eighty years on, this declaration remains relevant today," said the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
"Our need today is not limited to those old beliefs, but to consider contemporary needs and better utilize platforms like the UN by speaking out on issues like climate change, cybersecurity, health crises, and global terrorism. We should also consider the ancient system of India in which the worship of earth, water, fire, air and sky is considered the basis and in the tradition of India, by considering them as a part of our life, their purity and their protection have always been given priority. Whether it is the challenge of climate change for the world or the way to solve the global crisis through it, India's thinking can find a way to solve it," added CM Yogi.
The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh emphasised that this conference should convey an important message: justice must not only be grounded in competence but also ensure the security of every citizen.
"When people from all over the world have gathered here through this International Conference, how can justice be the solution to the problems of humanity, through this conference a message needs to be given to the whole world, justice should not only be the basis of capability but also the security of every citizen, their commitment to them and their bright future," said the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
