我是08级英语专业的林美岑。这次有幸在“外研社杯”全国英语演讲比赛福建赛区拿到一等奖。借此机会，想和同学们分享一下自己的一点心得体会。
说起英语，可能非常多同学都不得不轻叹：“想说爱你不容易。”确实，还是那句老话，学习英语（包括任何一种语言），都是无捷径可寻的。所以，“不积跬步无以至千里”，想要把英语学好，除了坚持，还是坚持。
那么，如何“坚持”？这还要因人而异，以自己的情况而定，适合自己才是最好的。
首先，学习英语最重要的是语音。没错，有些老师告诉你，和老外只要能沟通就行，语音不那么重要。但是，咱们总希望能做得更好一些不是吗？发音，决定了非常多其它方面，比如你的听力，还有你的口语。对非常多同学来说，有一口好的发音，确实不那么容易，毕竟大家来自五湖四海，平常说话容易受到方言的影响。但是，如果真心想说一口标准的英式或美式英语，还是有方法的。建议同学们平时可以做“影子练习”，即下载BBC或者VOA的新闻（当然，其它材料也可以，比如名人演讲），然后跟读。间隔一两秒，跟着音频读，长时间坚持，便有效。如果音标掌握得不好，建议先上网看视频，学习音标的正确发音方法。
其次，说说听力吧。刚才说过了，听力和语音是相连的。因为发音不正确，所以导致单词听不懂，这是非常难免的。听力也一样，只能通过长期坚持听，才有效果，短期内是看不到的。听力材料非常广泛，尤其是现在咱们这个互联网发达的时代，咱们应该感到庆幸，因为网上的英语听力资源数不胜数。建议同学们平常可以听BBC或VOA新闻，如果基础不好的同学，可以先听VOA的慢速新闻，而且可以顺便跟读练习发音，这是非常好的学习材料。听力建议精听和泛听结合。所谓精听，即认真听一篇听力广播，比如VOA新闻。听第一遍不明白大意是常有的事情，但是要继续听第二遍，直到听到有些明白了，开始看文本，找出不会的单词，做好记录，然后再听，直到听懂每个单词。所谓泛听，就是平常看看美剧、英剧、电影，或是看一些英语节目，听一听英语的Podcast（播客），保持对英语的敏锐度。
另外，谈谈阅读吧。通常中国学生的阅读水平要比口语和听力要好。我平时主要喜欢看一些报刊，国外国内的都有，比如《经济学人》、《纽约时报》以及《中国日报》。看报刊不仅有助于咱们学习外国人写作的表达和思维方式，而且有助于咱们了解时事。作为一名大学生，开拓眼界，了解世界格局变化，是咱们非常重要的任务之一，同时也是咱们学习英语的目的之一。当然，也有非常多同学喜欢阅读英语小说。图书馆里关于英语的小说是非常齐全的，希望大家一定要好好利用这个资源。
最后，说说口语。相信口语是许多同学的软肋，我也一样。因为英语在咱们国家只是作为第二门外语来学习，所以并没有相应的语言环境。这导致咱们平时学到的非常多英语可谓是“花瓶英语”，即看着能懂其意，可实际不会用。但是“用不上”的根本原因，归结起来就是说得太少，以致于学到的东西都成了消极的，没有被激发成积极的，说白了没法被使用，比如咱们学到的词汇以及一些句式。关于这个我也一直在探索，最好最直接的办法就是和讲英语的外国人交谈。通过和他们交谈，咱们可以学到一些地道的方言，会减少自己的“中式英语”表达。一般太正式的句子只能用在写作上。当然，非常多时候咱们没有这种资源，那咱们就只能好好利用生活中的“可利用资源。”比如电影、电视剧、各类英语节目等等，都是非常好的自学地道口语的材料，但重要的一点是，看的时候要留心台词里的口语表达，而不是走马观花，看了就忘。

进入大学，演讲比赛给了我一个展现自我的舞台。在第六届“东采杯”演讲比赛中，我获得了第七名的成绩。
演讲比赛的收获，有我自己的努力，但也有学长学姐长的帮忙，室友的支持。我明白一次成功的背后不仅是自己的辛勤付出，也有他人的扶持和帮助。所以，我是幸福的。
在比赛过程前，学长学姐们给了我很大的帮助。平时她们一个词一个词地帮我纠正读音，一个词一个词地为我的演讲稿润色。一次又一次让我练习，耐心的揪出错误，指导我的语音语调。我的每一个细小进步，都离不开他们的的指点。
在比赛过程中我收获了能力。在大家面前演讲所需的台风，发音，都在逐步成熟。每一次经历都是一份收获。从第一次上台的时的紧张再到决赛时的自信，在几个月里里，我成长了很多。语言的学习只有交流才能进步，它是对反应能力、平常交流能力的考验，其实，我们每个人都可以应对，只是换到比赛就容易因为紧张手足无措，比赛正是一个很好的锻炼我们自己的机会，我们都应该珍惜这样的机会，抓住这样的机会，锻炼自己、展现自己的风采。
在这次比赛过程中，其实最重要的，是我在比赛中体会到的团结氛围。平时在寝室里模拟演讲时，室友们总会指出我的缺点，例如：语速太快、站姿、眼神等等，因为他们，我才能一步一步走向成功。当我演讲时，班里同学，向我投来一个个信任、坚定的目光，他们的呼喊，他们的加油??那使我觉得不再孤身奋战！我有这样一个大家
庭给我支持，让我浑身充满了力量！比赛结束时，他们向我竖起了大拇指和响亮的掌声。这种团结、这种友爱给了我最深的感触。
最后，再次感谢在整个比赛过程中对我提供了极大鼓励和支持以及帮助的老师，学长学姐和同学们。荣誉好比圆形的跑道，既是终点，又是起点，再好的成绩已是过去的，不能作为骄傲的资本，而未来的目标才是我们更高的追求，才是继续向前进的动力。只有不断努力，不断完善自己，才能有美好的来

尊敬的领导，各位同仁：
大家好！
能获得这次公司演讲比赛第一，我深表荣幸。首先我要感谢公司给我展示自我和实现自我的平台。同时更要感谢领导对我的谆谆教诲和指引，还有同事们对我的鼓励与。
这次获奖，在高兴之余，更有一分意外、一分惭愧。因为在这个大家庭里，有许多同事比我更优秀，做的比我更好，比我更应该拿到这个奖。因此，我要更加努力，回报大家。
屈指算来，加入风雨公司，已将近一年，在这些日子里，我从一个未接触过销售的新人逐渐成长起来。而其中所经过的艰辛成长历程，仍是历历在目。也许正如我们风雨公司的名字一样，不经历风雨，哪能见彩虹。而这一切，不仅仅是个人的努力，更重要的是公司领导和同事们所给予的鼓励和支持，让我能够坚持下来。
我和商务部的战友们是公司这个大团体中的小团队，我们在一起相互支持、学习，融洽、积极的氛围让我觉得很满足很有归属感。能与他们共同工作，共同奋斗，是我的荣幸。
刚开始选择做销售时，朋友们问我，为什么？我喜欢销售，是因为热爱，我爱有激情、有挑战性的工作，一份有激情的'工作，会让我的生活更多彩，会让我的未来更精彩。
在风雨的日子里，我有三个非常深刻的体会：
首先，努力不一定能成功，但不努力一定不能成功；第二，行动是成功之母，有好的想法，好的观念不去行动，不去实施，都是空想；第三，向不可能挑战，只要有明确的目标和大量的行动，就没有达不成的目标。
我相信，只要全力以赴，在XX下半年里，我一定可以创造更好的业绩，以回报公司和同事们对我的关心支持。
最后，我祝愿我们风雨公司，蒸蒸日上。也希望大家可以在风雨这个舞台上尽情施展，大展宏图！
xx敬上

尊敬的领导们：
大家好！
首先，我要感谢各位参赛选手能积极配合我完成这项比赛，以及在赛前各班委的协助，特别感谢的是像王建国这样热心肠的.同学。真的，这几句都是我肺腑之言，因为他们在赛前都为班上出过一份力。
其次，我为这场比赛能在预赛中成功赛完感到很满意，其实，从这场比赛中，我发现我班的人才真是卧虎藏龙，多才多艺，为此我为这些人身在07汽修班而感到骄傲。甚至我可放开喉咙对别班说：我班是最棒的！
但是，在后轮比赛中，出现了一些问题，尤其在选定三位棋手后，有些棋手拒绝参赛，问他原因，不想下了。当做了一些思想工作后，仍无效果，我认为，
既然参加了象棋比赛，就应坚持到底，无论输赢，_输一盘棋不要紧，关键是别当逃兵_，按理说：在没有特殊情况下参赛棋手理应坚持到最后一盘，而不能只因一句我不想下了或反正三个名额不下也可以拿奖品等非正当理由所排斥不下。
要知道，这只是班上的象棋比赛，那要是学院之间乃至乎学校之间在扩大范围或者是国际象棋比赛呢？如果你是参赛选手，难道也只因一句我不想去而拒绝参赛吗？所以说，有些事并非你想与不想的事，而是你应理所当然要做的事。
在者，我需要说明的是，你们不是为了我而下的，如果说是为我而下的，那我宁愿不要你们下，因为我看到你们好像下的不耐烦了，要明确的是：你们在为班集体而下，设想一下，如果别班听说你班连个象棋赛都弄不好，岂不令人笑话，那我班_班荣_何在啊！
可能，我说这些话冒犯了一些同学，那请多包涵，因为我只想让这个象棋比赛办得公道些，办得像样些。

今天，我十分的高兴与荣幸能拿到铝材销售冠军和新客户销售冠军双项奖。首先要感谢以郭董为中心的和平领航人创建了这么好的施展个人能力的平台；能取得今天这样的业绩也要感谢各部门同仁给予我工作上的支持与配合，感谢营销中心全体的兄弟姐妹们的关怀与帮助；我想借此机会特别感谢营销中心总监DD靳总，让我在六年前加入和平，靳总多年的培养与领导，让我从一名普通司机到业务员，然后到今天取得的优异成绩，此时此刻，唯有感谢更能表达我的心情。自从07年干上铝材销售，就爱上了销售的工作，每天都有激情、有挑战，也让我的生活变得多彩起来。借助《和平人》报纸，和大家分享我的一些销售心得，也是我做销售的一些感悟。
一、作为一个优秀销售人员，我们要有良好的心理素质，包括承受压力、承受挫折、同时还要拥有耐力、虚心和宽容，我们要以不变应万变，应对市场的瞬息万变，应对客户的万般挑剔。
二、我们也要博学多才，怎么样才能和客户找到共同的话题、有共同兴趣，客户提到哪儿，我们就能想到哪！这就要求我们的知识面一定要广，我们不一定很专业，但知识面要尽可能的广，这样才能与客户能找到一种共鸣，我们的销售才会如鱼得水。
三、要有亲和力，交流拜访，至少让客户对你不讨厌，愿意和你交流，这就要保持微笑，给对方以足够的尊重，倾听并关注对方，时而做出会意的动作（表示他的话，你认同，你一直在听，一直在专注的听），只要客户愿意与你交谈，那么，合作就成功了一半。
四、要有很强的市场专业素质。当和你的客户进行沟通的时候，要对客户所在的行业了解清楚（包括行业的特点、现状、发展趋势、困惑、前景等），要对我们销售的产品优势很熟悉，对产品的功能和应用很熟悉，对在用客户的反馈很熟悉……，你能给客户带来很多意想不到的东西，可信的服务保障，让客户认为你是这方面的专家，你就是它们的顾问。
五、销售人员的辛苦，大家有目共睹，我们要有吃苦耐劳，持之以恒的精神，简单的事情重复的做，脚踏实地，持之以恒，不怕吃苦，那么胜利就在眼前。同时要有十足的干劲，激昂的热情，更要有不达目的不罢休的冲劲，千方百计，充满热情的进行销售工作。
六、我们要对客户真心，对公司诚信，做到对外真心实意，对内精诚协作，这是对事业，对人生的一种态度，真正的用心做事，用心做人，保持一颗感恩的心，销售，我们将所向无敌！
作为公司开拓市场的一线工作人员，承担着销售任务，压力与风险，有业务就有收入，也就有业绩。销售公司各产品时，需要充分熟悉公司各产品，准确把握公司各产品营销策略，积极主动营销。
20xx年虽然我在公司产品营销工作中取得了成绩，但成绩只属于过去，展望20xx年，我将在营销工作中继续以敏锐的市场眼光，抓住市场机遇，洞察市场商机，更加积极主动营销。在部门领导的关心支持与部门同仁团结协作下，更好的做好营销工作，为公司的发展尽自己最大的力量。
20xx年度配件销售冠军DD黄志刚获奖感言
20xx年是我过去的职业生涯中最值得纪念的一年，因为在这一年里，我在配件总库邢总、李经理以及总库全体同事的支持和帮助下，荣幸地获得了20xx年度配件销售冠军的荣誉称号，在此，我对所有帮助过我的领导和同事们表示衷心的感谢！
说到如何能取得今天这样的成绩，我也有一些感触，借此机会和各位同仁们进行分享。首先我认为所谓跑业务就一定要跑动起来，要想成为一名优秀的业务员勤奋是必须的，经常跟客户保持联系，即便这个客户暂时没有业务，也不能不予理睬，至少也要保持经常的电话联系，多沟通，让他认可你，继而与你成为朋友；其次一定要将服务客户的理念时刻装在头脑中，急客户之所急想客户之所想，准确掌握客户需求，针对性的介绍适合的产品，在能力范围之内帮客户解决问题，让他信任你，只要在他有需要的时候就能第一时间想起你，并且通过与他的沟通交流互访结识更多的准客户，让手中的客户群由点变线，由线成片，只有客户群的不断壮大才能带来更多的业务量；最后，时刻加强自身业务素质的建设，熟练掌握公司产品知识，并随时关注公司推出的新产品，尽量多的了解与配件相关的更多产品知识与相关技术，随时了解市场上的产品潮流，对我公司的订货和备货提出合理建议。
20xx年再成功也已经成为过去式了，在新的一年里，我将加倍努力，提高自己，争取让销售业绩再上新的台阶，为公司的长足发展贡献自己的一份力量，同时也希望有更多的新同事加入我们的行列，和平公司为我们提供了一个施展才华的大舞台，只要我们努力就一定会有收获！

站在领奖台上，此时此刻，我感慨颇多。从区里的初赛到决赛，一直到市里的总决赛，我一直全力以赴的去准备，充满信心的去参赛。但是，我真的没有想到在强手如林的赛场上，自己拿到了“大田杯”演讲比赛一等奖的奖杯。今天，我圆了自己一个小小的梦想，也为汉沽盐场小学争了光。
回首一路走来的点点滴滴，首先，我要感谢语文老师——张学新老师。张老师是一位博学多才，文学功底深厚的优秀教师，他在我文学发展的道路上起了重要的作用。因为我喜欢写作文，几乎每周我都会把新的习作发到张老师的邮箱。每一次，他都利用业余时间仔细，耐心的评改，使我的写作水平有了长足进步。此次比赛的演讲稿，就是经过张老师评改后，我又反复写了多遍而成。张老师还抽出宝贵的时间给予我朗诵技巧方面的指导。有了他的帮助，我才能在比赛中充满信心，发挥出色。
同时，我还要感谢始终陪伴在我身边，关心我，照顾我，培养我的妈妈。很小的时候，妈妈就给我报了演讲班。每次上课，她都和我一起听课，一坐就是两小时，回家后，她和我一起复习课上内容，循循善诱，一丝不苟。为了培养我的气质和修养，我还学习了弹钢琴，拉二胡，吹葫芦丝，画画，写大字……只要我提出想要报班学习的要求，妈妈总是大力支持，并不辞辛苦的接送我上课。可以说，没有妈妈的默默付出，就没有我今天的成绩的取得。
在这里，我还要感谢“大田杯”的主办单位，感谢你们给我提供了上台进行演讲的机会，使我在比赛中训练了口才，提高了应变能力，锻炼了心理素质，让我更有信心的去迎接今后的学习。
最后，我要特别感谢各位评委老师，谢谢你们对我的肯定与支持，你们的鼓励会鞭策我在演讲的道路上一直走下去。
演讲比赛感言50字左右 第10篇
Mr President, Deputy Secretary-General, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great honour for me to address this General Assembly for the first time and to do so as Prime Minister of a country that has always been a proud and pro-active member at the very heart of this United Nations.
This United Nations was formed because leaders across the world knew that they could only deliver security for their citizens at home if they could cooperate, as a community of nations, to deliver security across the globe.
Some of the threats that we face together today are familiar to those founding leaders: war, political instability, abuses of human rights and poverty.
Others are new: global terrorism, climate change, and unprecedented mass movements of people.
We gather here today because we know that such challenges do not respect the borders of our individual nations and that only by working together shall we overcome them.
As a new Prime Minister to the United Kingdom my pledge to this United Nations is simple: the UK will be a confident, strong and dependable partner internationally C true to the universal values that we share together.
We will continue to honour our commitment to spend per cent of our Gross National Income on development, building on the achievements we have already made to reduce poverty, deal with instability and increase prosperity the world over. And we will drive forward the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
We will continue to champion the rights of women and girls, making sure that all girls get the education they deserve, and tackling horrific abuses such as female genital mutilation and the use of sexual violence in conflict.
We will continue to be a steadfast, permanent member of the Security Council, meeting our NATO commitment to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence and making a leading contribution to UN peacekeeping efforts, where we have doubled our commitment, including new deployments to Somalia and South Sudan.
We will continue to stand up for the rules based international system and for international law, and I join other leaders in condemning the outrageous bombing of the aid convoy in Syria yesterday.
We will continue to play our part in the international effort against climate change. And in a demonstration of our commitment to the agreement reached in Paris, the UK will start its domestic procedures to enable ratification of the Paris agreement, and complete these before the end of the year.
And we will continue to strengthen our existing partnerships, from this United Nations, to the Commonwealth and NATO, seeking to resolve conflict in countries across the world - from Colombia and Cyprus to Somalia and Yemen.
But we must never forget that we stand here, at this United Nations, as servants of the men and women that we represent back at home.
And as we do so, we must recognise that for too many of these men and women the increasing pace of globalisation has left them feeling left behind.
The challenge for those of us in this room is to ensure that our governments and our global institutions, such as this United Nations, remain responsive to the people that we serve. That we are capable of adapting our institutions to the demands of the 21st century and ensuring that they do not become irrelevant.
So when it comes to the big security and human rights challenges of our time, we need this C our United Nations - to forge a bold new multilateralism.
Because as we have seen even in the past week, no country is untouched by the threat of global terrorism. And when extremists anywhere in the world can transmit their poisonous ideologies directly into the bedrooms of people vulnerable to radicalisation, we need not just to work together to prevent conflict and instability in nation states but to act globally to disrupt the networks terrorist groups use to finance their operations and recruit to their ranks.
When we see the mass displacement of people, at a scale unprecedented in recent history, we must ensure we are implementing the policies that are fit for the challenges we face today.
And when criminal gangs do not respect our national borders C trafficking our fellow citizens into lives of slavery and servitude C we cannot let those borders act as a barrier to bringing such criminals to justice.
In each of these areas, it is the convening power of our United Nations that gives us a unique opportunity to respond. But we can only do so if we modernise and adapt to meet the challenges of the 21stcentury.
As a United Nations we have shown how we can work together to reduce the threat from international terrorism by preventing conflict and instability from developing.
For example, through our Permanent Membership of the Security Council, Britain has played a leading role in the fight against Al Shabaab in Somalia. Since , with huge support from across the region, and critically the commitment of Somalis themselves, Al Shabaab has been driven from all the major cities it used to control.
It is vital that as an international community we continue to support countries in the region that are contributing thousands of troops, and that we continue to build the capacity of Somali security forces. That is why the UK is now going to increase further our security support and we will be calling on others to do the same, hosting an international conference on Somalia in to maintain this vital momentum.
Missions like this must remain central to the work of this United Nations, but on their own they are not enough.
Because the terrorist threats we face today do not come from one country but exist in a different space. The global networks they exploit require a different kind of global response.
These organisations are using our own modern banking networks against us. So we need to look at our regulations, our information sharing and using our technological capabilities to get ahead of them.
They are targeting our airlines, exploiting the fact that no one country can keep its citizens safe when they are flying between multiple jurisdictions.
That is why this week the United Nations will vote on a UK led resolution on aviation security to ensure that every country implements the standards we need to ensure that no country is the weak link.
They are exploiting the internet and social media to spread an ideology that is recruiting people to their cause all over the world. So we need to tackle this ideology head-on.
That is why the UK has championed the work that the Secretary General has led to develop a strategy for Preventing Violent Extremism. Now, as an international community, we must work together to adopt and implement the most comprehensive national action plans to tackle both the causes and the symptoms of all extremism.
It is not enough merely to focus on violent extremism. We need to address the whole spectrum of extremism - violent extremism and non-violent extremism; Islamist and neo-Nazi C hate and fear in all their forms.
Just as we need the United Nations to modernise to meet the challenges of terrorism in the 21st century, so we also need to adapt if we are to fashion a truly global response to the mass movements of people across the world and the implications this brings for security and human rights.
The 1951 convention and the 1967 protocol must remain the bedrock of our response, but the context in which they must be applied has dramatically changed.
Across the world today, there are 65 million people who have been forcibly displaced. That it is equivalent to the entire population of the United Kingdom.
It is an unprecedented figure, one that has almost doubled in a decade. And yet UN appeals are underfunded; host countries are not getting enough support; and refugees are not getting the aid, education and economic opportunities they need.
We must do more. And as the second largest bi-lateral provider of assistance, the UK remains fully committed to playing a leading role.
In the last 5 years the UK has invested over $9 billion in humanitarian assistance, saving millions of lives every year.
The London Syria Conference in February raised $12 billion in pledges, the largest amount ever raised in one day in response to a humanitarian crisis.
And that money is being used to combine both urgent humanitarian assistance and vital economic development, benefitting both refugees and the communities and countries hosting them.
Clearly we need to continue our efforts to bring an end to the conflict and the appalling slaughter in Syria and to get aid through to those who need it.
And while these efforts continue inside Syria, we also agreed new efforts to support refugees and host communities in neighbouring countries, including through education and opportunities to work. This is being assisted by loans from international financial institutions and access to European markets. And through our trading relationships and direct engagement with businesses we are mobilising the private sector to create new jobs in the region for everyone.
And while there is more to be done, it is this approach to financing both humanitarian support and economic development that I will be championing when I announce a further UK financial contribution at President Obama’s Refugee Summit later today.
But in addition to refugees and displaced people fleeing conflict and persecution, we are also seeing an unprecedented movement of people in search of greater economic opportunities through the same unmanaged channels.
This affects all of us, and it is the responsibility of us all to take action. We cannot ignore this challenge, or allow it to continue unmanaged. We need to do better. Better for the countries people leave, for the countries they move through, for the countries they try to get to C and most of all, better for the migrants and refugees themselves.
Despite the huge increase in international efforts, more migrants have died attempting hazardous journeys across borders this year than any other. I believe we have to use the opportunity afforded by this General Assembly for an honest global debate to address this global challenge.
In doing so, we should be clear that there is nothing wrong with the desire to migrate for a better life. And also that controlled, legal, safe, economic migration brings benefits to our economies.
But countries have to be able to exercise control over their borders. The failure to do so erodes public confidence, fuels international crime, damages economies and reduces the resources for those who genuinely need protection and whose rights under the Refugee Convention should always be fulfilled.
I believe there are three fundamental principles that we now need to establish at the heart of a new approach to managing migration that is in the interests of all those involved.
First, we must help ensure that refugees claim asylum in the first safe country they reach. The current trend of onward movements, where refugees reach a safe country but then press on with their journey, can only benefit criminal gangs and expose refugees to grave danger.
So we must all do more to support countries where the refugees first arrive - to provide the necessary protection and assistance for refugees safely and swiftly, and to help countries adapt to the huge economic impact that refugees can have C including on their existing population.
As we are seeing in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, when the right assistance is provided, solutions that provide sanctuary and opportunity to refugees, and opportunities for those hosting them, can be found.
This is also good for the refugees and the countries they come from C because the closer they stay to home, the easier it will be for them to return and rebuild after the conflict.
Second, we need to improve the ways we distinguish between refugees fleeing persecution and economic migrants. I believe we must ensure the existing convention and protocol are properly applied to provide protection to refugees and reduce the incentives for economic migrants to use illegal routes. This in turn will help us target support for those refugees who need it most and retain the support of our populations for doing so.
Third, we need a better overall approach to managing economic migration which recognises that all countries have the right to control their borders - and that we must all commit to accepting the return of our own nationals when they have no right to remain elsewhere.
By ensuring a managed and controlled international migration response - and at the same time investing to tackle the underlying drivers of displacement and migration at source - we can reject isolationism and xenophobia, achieving better outcomes for all of our citizens C and particularly for the most vulnerable.
Finally, as we gather here today to bring the founding values of the United Nations to bear on some of the most pressing global problems, the likes of which we haven’t seen before, so we must also face up to the fact that some of the worst human rights abuses that we thought we had confined to the history books have re-emerged in new pernicious forms.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the General Assembly stated that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, that no one shall be held in slavery or servitude and that slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
Yet nearly seventy years on, we are presented with a new form of slavery: modern slavery.
Organised crime groups, who are largely behind this modern slavery, lure, dupe and force innocent men, women and children into extreme forms of exploitation.
Trafficked and sold across borders; victims are forced into living the kind of inhumane existence that is almost too much for our imagination.
These criminals have global networks to help them make money out of some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Victims are held captive in squalid conditions under the constant shadow of violence and forced into sex and labour exploitation.
If we are going to succeed in stamping out this abhorrent crime and bring the perpetrators to justice, we need to confront the reality of what we are dealing with.
These organised crime groups work across borders and jurisdictions. And they often use the internet and modern technology to recruit, transport, control and exploit their victims, all the while staying ahead of legal systems that are often constrained by traditional geographical boundaries.
So we must take action.
We must use our international law enforcement networks to track these criminals down, wherever they are in the world, and put them behind bars where they belong.
We need to be smarter and even more co-ordinated than the criminal gangs in our efforts to stop them.
In the UK, I am setting up the first ever government taskforce for modern slavery, bringing together every relevant department to co-ordinate and drive all our efforts in the battle against this cruel exploitation.
We are also using our aid budget to create a dedicated fund focused on high risk countries where we know victims are regularly trafficked to the UK.
And yesterday, I committed the first 5 million from this fund to work in Nigeria to reduce the vulnerability of potential victims and step up the fight against those who seek to profit from this crime.
But if we are to meet the Sustainable Development Goal to eradicate modern slavery, we need to go much further.
Security relationships have developed between so many countries for dealing with issues like counter-terrorism, cyber security, drug trafficking and wider intelligence sharing. But we do not have a similar relationship for this fight against modern slavery.
So we need our law enforcement agencies to work together C with joint investigation teams working across multiple countries.
Victims will only find freedom if we cultivate a radically new, global and co-ordinated approach to defeat this vile crime.
Together we must work tirelessly to preserve the freedoms and values that have defined our United Nations from its inception.
Together we must work tirelessly to restore these freedoms and values to the lives of the men, women and children who are exploited for profit and held captive with little or no chance of escape.
From the St James’ Palace declaration and the Atlantic Charter forged by Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt, to the first meeting of this General Assembly in London in 1946, the United Kingdom has always been an outward-facing, global partner at the heart of international efforts to secure peace and prosperity for all our people.
And that is how we will remain. For when the British people voted to leave the EU, they did not vote to turn inwards or walk away from any of our partners in the world.
Faced with challenges like migration, a desire for greater control of their country, and a mounting sense that globalisation is leaving working people behind, they demanded a politics that is more in touch with their concerns; and bold action to address them.
But that action must be more global, not less. Because the biggest threats to our prosperity and security do not recognise or respect international borders. And if we only focus on what we do at home, the job is barely half done.
So this is not the time to turn away from our United Nations. It is the time to turn towards it.
Only we C as Members of this community of nations C can act to ensure this great institution becomes as relevant for our future as it has been in our past.
So let us come together, true to our founding values but responsive to the challenges of today and let us work together to build a safer, more prosperous and more humane world for generations to come.
