I owe it to the organizers of this function and to the 27,000 students of the City Montessori School (CMS) and in particular to Mr. Gandhi for giving me this opportunity to participate in this Conference. An environment has to be developed for multi-culturalism to survive and it becomes necessary for each individual country and its government to adhere to its obligations under international law.
	Speech dated 13th December 2003 at the 4th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World
	Please remember that the First World War ended within four years, and the Second World War took a little longer time from 1939 to 1945. It ended then, but this one, which has perhaps taken a little longer, the international community is still struggling to deal with it, and does not see light at the other end of the tunnel, and it is therefore necessary that a very serious effort should be made to understand how to deal with this menace and that poses the question: is terrorism a disease? Or a symptom? If it is a disease, we must identify the disease, and like a cancerous growth remove it from the system. If it is a symptom, then also the symptom will not disappear merely by addressing the symptom.
—Hon'ble Mr Justice A. M. Ahmadi Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 14th December 2008 at the 9th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World
	Future generations comprise of the children, present and those yet to be born. Globalisation is shrinking physical distances but tends to increase the distance between hearts, in spite of the above commitment. The concept of citizenship of the world in a global village can be realized only by treating all the children as members of one family. The concern for the children everywhere should be universal in the international community. It must not be left to the national governments alone. The voice of the international community is the assurance to prevent failure of the national institutions to discharge their duty of protecting human rights.
—Hon'ble Mr Justice J. S. Verma Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 8th December 2007 delivered at the 8th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World
	There could not have been a better place than India to discuss these issues, culturally and constitutionally. We believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the whole universe is a family). The preamble to the Constitution declares that India has been constituted into a republic for the purpose of achieving the goals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity to all.
—Hon'ble Mr Justice R. C. Lahoti Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 9th December 2007 delivered at the 8th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World
	Chief justices and companion judges, I entreat you to treasure this global humanism as an integral part of our high professional office and sublime robes. We meet here not as a gathering of distinguished judicial missionaries but as a divine population nobler than any ever met with a vision of justice in its deepest and widest comprehension embracing this harsh world suffering increasing victims of injustice - social, economic, political and other dimensions
—Hon'ble Mr Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 9th December 2009 delivered at the 10th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World
