All peoples are united by common bonds.

Their cultures pieced together in a shared heritage.

But this delicate mosaic may be shattered at any time.

During this century, millions of children, women and men have been victims of unimaginable atrocities that deeply shock the conscience of humanity.

Such grave crimes threaten the peace, security and well-being of the world.

Inspired by the preamble of the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court.
