President Obama: Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General,

For most of recorded history, individual aspirations

were subject to the whims of tyrants and empires.

Divisions of race and religion and tribe were settled

through the sword and the clash of armies.

The idea that nations and peoples could come together

and advance a common prosperity seemed unimaginable.

It took the awful carnage of two world wars

The leaders who built the United Nations were not naïve;

they did not think this body could eradicate all wars.

But in the wake of millions dead and continents in rubble,

and with the development of nuclear weapons

believing that it could allow us to resolve conflicts,

enforce rules of behavior, and build habits of cooperation

For decades, the United Nations has in fact made a difference --

from helping to eradicate disease, to educating children,

as nation-states and members of an international community,

whether the United Nations can meet the tests of our time.

some of our most urgent challenges have revolved

around an increasingly integrated global economy,

and our efforts to recover from the worst economic crisis

Now, five years after the global economy collapsed,

global financial systems have stabilized,

and people are once again being lifted out of poverty.

But this progress is fragile and unequal,

and we still have work to do together to assure

that our citizens can access the opportunities

that they need to thrive in the 21st century.

For the United States, these new circumstances have

also meant shifting away from a perpetual war footing.

a continuing, imminent threat to the United States

and there is a near certainty of no civilian casualties.

We're transferring detainees to other countries

while working diligently to close the prison

And just as we reviewed how we deploy our extraordinary

military capabilities in a way that lives up to our ideals,

we've begun to review the way that we gather intelligence,

so that we properly balance the legitimate security concerns

of our citizens and allies with the privacy concerns

and cooperation with allies and partners,

the world is more stable than it was five years ago.

In Kenya, we've seen terrorists target innocent civilians

In Pakistan, nearly 100 people were recently killed

In Iraq, killings and car bombs continue to be

And meanwhile, al Qaeda has splintered into regional

networks and militias, which doesn't give them

the capacity at this point to carry out attacks like 9/11,

but does pose serious threats to governments and diplomats,

businesses and civilians all across the globe.

the convulsions in the Middle East and North Africa

have laid bare deep divisions within societies,

as an old order is upended and people grapple
