Lucknow, 23 November : On the second day of the '25th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World', organized by City Montessori School, Shri Manoj Kumar Singh, IAS, Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh, while participating in a plenary panel discussion under the theme 'The Global Governance We Need,' stated that the rights and welfare of citizens should be the highest priority for all nations. He urged world leaders to unite on a common platform to address global issues for the betterment of humanity. Referring to India's growing influence on the global stage, Shri Singh mentioned that although India has always played a positive role with all cooperating nations, in alignment with the spirit of our Constitution, our country is now taking on a leading role in dealing with global issues. Praising the conference, Shri Singh remarked that this conference is significant because it aims to benefit all people across the world. In the panel discussion, former President of Hungary, Ms. Katalin Novák, discussed the European Union's historical impact on the socio-economic world order and stressed the need for young leaders to spearhead reforms in the UN Security Council. As Hungary's first female President, Novak also highlighted the urgency of addressing gender disparity worldwide. Dr. Pakalitha B. Mosisili, former Prime Minister of Lesotho, mentioned that this conference pays a well deserved tribute to its Founder Dr Jagdish Gandhi. He said that we owe it to his memory to ensure that the conference does not degrade into a mere talk or mere ritual but remains a focal point of bringing about a change in the world. Ms Justice Priscilla Chandra Haneef of the Guyana Supreme Court criticized the UN's response as inadequate and voiced for reforms in the United Nations Charter. The panel discussion was moderated by Dr. Augusto Lopez-Claros, an international economist and former Director of the World Bank, from the United States. It is noteworthy that this conference is dedicated to world unity, world peace, and a beautiful and secure future for more than 2.5 billion children worldwide.
Earlier, on the second day of the conference, former Prime Minister of Haiti, Mr. Jean-Henry Céant, inaugurated the event.

Mr Justice Victor Dassi Adossou, President, Supreme Court, Benin commended the efforts of CMS Founder Late Dr Jagdish Gandhi in creating a New World Order of greater unity, peace and brotherhood. Mr Justice Bheki Maphalala, Chief Justice, Supreme Court, Eswatini said that effective measures are required to ensure that instruments to eradicate all obstructions in creating peace are put in place. Mr Jagannath Sami, High Commissioner, Fiji Islands supported the idea of global governance by saying that the inability of existing agencies in avoiding wars is unacceptable as it is nothing less than a war on the future generations.
