Madam Chair,Distinguished delegates,We are living through a time of rapid change. A time of promise — only a few weeks ago, the Pact for the Future was adopted here in New York — but also a time of peril. Of great uncertainty. Uncertainty not about the nature or the scale of the challenges that we face. Those are clear — wars, poverty, epidemics, the threat of unregulated technology, climate change and more — together with unprecedented levels of displacement.

THE disaster in Lebanon has multiple humanitarian consequences. Displacement, as we heard, is one of the most catastrophic. Parts of the country have been depopulated. A fifth of the population has been displaced. And 430,000 people have crossed into Syria — 30 per cent Lebanese, 70 per cent Syrians: people who fled a war and are now fleeing another. I have seen myself a few days ago families at the border carrying what they can on their backs along a road destroyed by Israeli airstrikes.

¿Qué harías si, de pronto, te dieras cuenta de que tu identidad ha sido borrada? ¿Qué harías si descubrieras que ya no tienes pasaporte, licencia de conducir, tarjetas bancarias, certificado de nacimiento ni ningún otro documento que acredite tu existencia o tu ciudadanía? Oficialmente no existes, así que no puedes conseguir un empleo, tener una cuenta en el banco ni recibir servicios básicos.
