This was a man who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for helping bring an end to the Cold War and who reduced the threat of nuclear warfare to all civilisation. He also, I found out today, [Audio issue] Green Cross International. But I do want to acknowledge that while the end of the USSR enabled many countries to achieve some level of democracy and self-determination, it was also followed by significant hardship and regional turmoil. Terrible conflicts came in its wake. I want to acknowledge Chechnya and its people. I also want to acknowledge the people of Central and South America who experienced interference. The wounds of that time remain fresh for many across the world especially in that region, and that can't be forgotten.
