File info[edit]
| Caption | In his talk at Harvard last month, Sasha Dehghani also drew attention to the first delegation of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations. In 1947, reflecting the unity in diversity highly valued by the Baha'i community, Amin Banani, Mildred Mottahedeh, Hilda Yen, and Matthew Bullock presented the statement "A Baha'i Declaration of Human Obligations and Rights" to the UN, which ended by quoting a well-known passage by Baha'u'llah: "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." Banani (left) was an influential scholar; Mottahedeh (second from left) was a member of the International Baha'i Council from 1961-63 and later a representative of the BIC for many years; Yen (second from right) was a leading figure in Chinese-American society who worked as a diplomat for many years; and Bullock (right) was a Knight of Baha'u'llah for the Dutch West Indies, today the Netherlands Antilles, and later a representative of the BIC. |
