UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Wednesday called on member states to combat discrimination and practice "active tolerance" at a time when the world is meeting with profound political and economic changes. The secretary-general, in his message marking the International Day for Tolerance which fell on Wednesday this year, highlighted that "practicing tolerance can serve as the antidote to prejudice and hatred" in a world full of changes and conflicts. "Our practice of tolerance must mean more than peaceful coexistence, crucial as that is," the secretary-general said. "It must be an active understanding fostered through dialogue and positive engagement with others." This is especially critical in combating discrimination that causes divisiveness, destruction and death all over the world, Ban said in the message. "We all have a responsibility to protect those vulnerable to discrimination, whether based on race, religion, nationality, language, gender, sexual orientation or other factors," the secretary-general said. "As we face the complex and global challenges of our times, the United Nations will continue to work for mutual understanding among peoples and countries, a bedrock need in an interconnected world," Ban said. The International Day for Tolerance has been observed on Nov. 16 every year by the UN General Assembly since 1996 with activities directed toward both educational establishments and the wider public, in order to generate public awareness of the dangers of intolerance.Un chief calls for "active tolerance" during times of change - Digital Food Weighing ScalesUn chief calls for "active tolerance" during times of change - Digital Food Weighing ScalesUn chief calls for "active tolerance" during times of change - Digital Food Weighing ScalesUn chief calls for "active tolerance" during times of change - Digital Food Weighing ScalesUn chief calls for "active tolerance" during times of change - Digital Food Weighing Scales The e-commerce company in China offers quality products such as Digital Food Weighing Scales , Digital Pocket Scales Manufacturer, and more.
