Education is the most important of all global priorities: CM Yogi Adityanath at Int’l Conference of Chief Justices of World

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Friday, said that Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the belief that “the whole world is one family”, has been the foundation of India’s philosophy for thousands of years. He noted that the spirit behind the Chief Justices of the World conference reflects an ancient tradition of unity, justice, and global responsibility.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the 26th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World (ICCJW), organised by City Montessori School, he said India has always played a role in offering support, protection, and progress to the world during times of crisis.

He emphasised the need to remember the United Nations, urging nations to work toward the Sustainable Development Goals. These goals encompass key areas, including education, health, agriculture, water resources, employment and skills development, environmental protection, and forest conservation.

Among all 16 goals, he highlighted that education remains the most crucial.
Chief Minister Adityanath stressed that the world must not overlook its core challenges. Upon deeper reflection, he said, one realises that the breakdown of dialogue is at the heart of many global issues. Dialogue, he noted, has often been suppressed to maintain personal or political dominance. He described this international conference as a platform for meaningful dialogue and as a strong message to humanity, particularly to those who have attempted to create chaos for power.

Chief Minister Adityanath acknowledged that global competition presents significant challenges. Additionally, climate change and evolving crises have created new realities that require global attention. He noted that while emerging technologies have improved lives, they have also introduced challenges such as cybercrime and data theft. In this rapidly changing world, he said, justice, ethical conduct, and international law will be key in shaping peace and the future of human civilisation.

He urged the world to revisit the message of the United Nations made 80 years ago, calling for a more just, inclusive, and accountable global system.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “While we must learn from history, we should not confine ourselves to past ideas alone. Instead, the world must address current global challenges such as climate change, cybersecurity, public health crises, and terrorism by making better use of international platforms like the United Nations.” He emphasised the need to build a practical and purposeful global coalition capable of responding more effectively to these issues.

The Chief Minister stressed that this conference must send a clear message to the world on how justice can serve as a solution to humanity’s challenges. Justice, he said, should not only ensure equality but also security, dignity, and a prosperous future for every individual. He expressed confidence that the resolutions adopted at this conference would reach the United Nations and help promote the message of peace, compassion, fraternity, and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, values deeply rooted in Indian civilisation, across the world.
