I
am pleased to know that the City Montessori School, Lucknow
is organizing the 3rd International Conference of Chief
Justice of the World on Article 51c of the Constitution
of India. I wholeheartedly applaud this initiative.
If any section of society has a greater
claim on a safe and conflict-free future of mankind, it
is our children. Hence, Article 51c of our Constitution,
which enjoins upon the State to endeavour to promote peace
and security, maintain just and honourable relationship
between nations, and foster respect for international law
is especially relevant for safeguarding the interests of
our children.
I send my best wishes to your conference,
which seeks to create greater awareness about these important
issue.
