  • Minister Pandor, Speeches

It is a great pleasure and honour for me to be addressing you today. I bring you warm greetings from the government and the people of South Africa. The year 2024 marks 30 years of constitutional democracy in South Africa. Our Constitution, which guides our foreign policy, took inspiration from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other key international instruments of International Law. The South African Bill of Rights recognizes the equality, dignity and worth of every person. This incorporation of international law in our constitution has strongly influenced the nature and focus of our foreign policy.
