Esteemed members of the Assembly,
Culture is what gives humanity such an unique face. We are all one and the same, yet each so different. However, not all of our cultural aspects have survived the ages. Be it a language, a landmark with cultural significance, time has consumed them. Today I propose a way to protect those elements of our cultural that face the threat of being faded away by time. Through our proposed Pacifica Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organisation, we can guarantee our most cherished elements from cultures around the world remain protected once and forever.
