She is talking about her perceptions in the virtual meeting on 14th August 2016, refering to the monument in front of the building (photo Anne-Catrin Vogt).
The monument has inscriptions in different languages related to peace.
English:
The Governments of the States Parties to this Constitution on behalf of their peoples declare: That since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.
French:
Les guerres prenant naissance dans l´esprit des hommes, c´est dans l´esprit des hommes que doivent être élevées les defenses de paix.
Spanish:
Puesto que las guerras nacen en la mente de los hombres, es en la mente de los hombres donde deben eregirse las baluartes de la paz.
Portuguese:
Nascendo as guerras no espírito dos homens, é no espírito dos homens que deve erguer se a defesa da paz.
