STROBLE, PHD Graduates, colleagues, friends, family and honored guests: This moment celebrates the culmination of years of diligent work and dedicated study by the exceptional students who select Webster University on their path to global academic excellence. We take pride in Webster’s students who make their homes in places as far apart as Athens and Charleston, Tashkent and Saint Louis, among the many communities Webster calls home. As Webster alumni, these graduates join an elite global community of accomplished and connected citizens. From the first two graduates in the Class of 1919 to the more than 4,700 graduates in the Class of 2020, they embody 1 the promise of Webster’s enduring commitment to inclusive education. Graduates, we know the significance of this day in your life and career, and like you, we are saddened that a global health crisis prevents us from being together in person. But it is important that we take this moment to celebrate with you today, and we hope you can join us in person in the fall. Wherever in the world your journey takes you next, and wherever you call home in the future, Webster University goes with you as your proud alma mater. Congratulations! Elizabeth (Beth) J. Stroble, PhD Chancellor Greetings from the President JULIAN Z. SCHUSTER, PHD Graduates, today you participate in one of the proudest and longest-running traditions in all of higher education. Your commencement ceremony is a significant milestone which a pandemic can change, but not erase. Webster’s 101st annual commencement ceremony is a symbol, and a celebration, of the highest reward you can achieve in academia. The achievements of our graduates deserve our formal recognition, our deepest respect and a heartfelt congratulations from all of our family, friends and colleagues. Though the coronavirus has altered commencement plans at Webster campus locations throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa, we as a global community will make sure that your success 3 is recognized, honored and celebrated. We hope you can join us during Homecoming & Alumni Weekend in the fall so that we can continue this celebration in person. That weekend, each Webster school and college will hold ceremonial events where 2020 graduates can congregate and walk with their fellow alumni and celebrate their accomplishments. Until then we offer our heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2020! Julian Z.

    ORGANISATION FOR THE PROHIBITION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS “The Chemical Weapons Convention: Science in Service of Peace” Speech to Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology Ahmet Üzümcü, Director-General OPCW Dhaka, Bangladesh 17 October 2016 SPEECH AS DELIVERED Vice- Vice Chancellor Professor Saiful Islam, Professor Chaudry, Distinguished faculty members, Dear students, Ladies and gentlemen, This is my first official visit to Bangladesh as Director-General of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, or OPCW. I consider it particularly important to visit centres of learning and to interact with those associated with such institutions. These are the places where ideas germinate and where the thought process is disciplined to make creative energies productive. The content and direction of progress in a country is largely determined by the quality of its educational institutions. Your university is renowned not only as one of the oldest and largest centres of higher learning in Bangladesh. It is noted for its high quality research and academic programmes in technology and engineering. It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to be with you here today. Later this week, Bangladesh will mark forty-five years of its independence. Over this time, your country has taken significant strides in advancing progress for its people. Bangladesh also has a worthy record as a responsible global citizen. It is one of the largest contributors to the United Nations peacekeeping operations. By subscribing to all major disarmament treaties, Bangladesh participates in the endeavour to make our world a place safe from weapons of mass destruction. Your country is an original signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), a landmark international treaty that bans an entire class of weapons of mass destruction under international verification.

The Conference is assured of able leadership as you bring to this position a wealth of knowledge, experience and diplomatic skills. I wish you every success. I am delighted and indeed honoured to address the CD. This forum embodies the spirit of an era of resolve to banish war in favour of peace – peace based on a durable foundation of international cooperation, development and the rejection of the tools of war that are regarded as illegitimate. The twentieth century witnessed the trauma of two world wars within a span of a few decades that brought ruin on a scale never seen before in human history. Technology magnified the destructive power of weapons in ways not thought possible. These harrowing experiences united the entire world community in an aspiration to live together in harmony. A community of nations traumatised by extreme and pervasive violence found it possible to reignite the lost glow and warmth of shared values and norms as a basis for inter-state relations. Ironically, just as people were constructing a new beginning, the nuclear age was dawning. The destruction seen as a result of years of warfare could now happen in a matter of minutes. A well-thought out and systematic pursuit of disarmament eventually took shape of which the CD is a salient manifestation.
