Sonia Gandhi, Leader of
Opposition Lok Sabha, India
I
am happy that the City Montessori School is organizing the
3rd International Conference of the Chief Justices of the
world on Article 51 of the Constitution of India in December
this year. Emerging challenges in the realm of preservation
of human rights, secularism and our democratic institutions
have highlighted the need to bring about adaptive changes
in the legal field. There is a greater need today to reinforce
our struggle against poverty, inequality and obscurantism;
against terrorism; tackling in drugs and humans, and against
violence and discrimination. The new millennium has brought
with it new questions relating to environment, technology
and economic freedom. It is significant that this Conference
has a special focus on children, for all systems of justice
have an impact on the well being of the future generation.
I send my good wishes for the success of the Conference.
