August 27 Excerpts:

...“All of you are raising your voices for our common values. I’m deeply encouraged by this unprecedented show of interest,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the opening session in a video message.

“I depend on NGOs to push world leaders along the right path. You understand that sovereignty carries responsibility. You know that political power is a sacred duty. And you have grassroots influence that can make history.”

He said that the UN is now poised to make “monumental decisions for our world,” noting that the MDGs have achieved unprecedented success, lifting more families out of poverty, putting more children in school and preventing more disease than any campaign ever.

And

"He added that 2015, which also marks the 70th anniversary since the establishment of the UN, is recognized as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for global action."
