Australia
His Excellency Scott Morrison
Statement Summary
SCOTT MORRISON, Prime Minister of Australia, cited the role of two fellow citizens in the founding of the Â鶹APP, including Jessie Street, the country¡¯s only female delegate to the San Francisco Conference in 1945. He noted that Ms. Street was crucially involved in securing the insertion of the word 'sex' in the clause 'without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion' in the Charter of the Â鶹APP. Pointing to the central role Australia plays in the Organization¡¯s efforts this day, he said the Â鶹APP is not perfect but part of a quest to embody ¡°our better angels¡±.
