The hope to breathe in a world void of poverty
violence and discrimination and crime, can only
be possible with willpower and the full actions of
all governmental and nongovernmental sectors
in all countries. We must all, endeavour for the
reduction of humanity’s problems in a world that
crime is becoming routine, through information
dissemination, education, production of scientific
and practical contents and effective presence in
all decision making levels.”
Next the UN Secretary General’s message for
the day was read by the deputy to UNIC in Iran.
In another part of the ceremony, university
lecturer, Dr. Mirzaee, who was in a sidelines
panel on the subject of the rehabilitation of
torture victims, said: “active therapists who are
in contact with victims of torture, must be in
command of the support, mental and cognitive-
behavioral therapies, and have the right skills.
“This lecturer explained the three therapy and
rehabilitation approach process and said: “in
view of UN’s approach this year, we, as those that
have the duty to treat and rehabilitate torture and
violence victims, must have more responsibility
towards the past, and provide help so that the
victims can return to a normal lie, and once again
enjoy hope, happiness and security.”
The next speaker was university lecturer Dr.
Khaji, who stressed on the prevention of this vile
phenomenon and said: “although the adoption
of laws for the prevention of torture and the
observation of conventions and protocols is
necessary, but the adoption of these laws for
prevention alone is not practical..”
Dr. Khasi pointed out the strengthening of
human values for the prevention of any form of
torture and said: “Since despite all international
preventive laws and leverages, unfortunately
torture continues to be committed, we must
confront torture and violence with the inner,
moral and humanitarian levers.”
At the end of the ceremony the PeaceTreatywas
read by the experts, therapists and participants.
