UNITED NATIONS, Sept 12: United Nations General Assembly's outgoing president Abdulla Shahid has said that the aspirations and future of the next generation are worth fighting for as he called on the member states to use the instruments at their disposal to secure global peace and justice. During the closing ceremony of the UN General Assembly's 76th session on Monday, Shahid, also the foreign minister of the Maldives, urged those present to not lose hope and give into cynicism or turn our backs on those who look to us at the United Nations for solutions. Let us use the instruments at our disposal to secure global peace and justice...[and] tell the next generation that their aspirations, their futures, their planet, are worth fighting for. We owe it to ourselves, to our peers, to our children, to our grandchildren, to humanity, to choose hope, Shahid, 60, said.
