Emotions are running high at the 69th UN General Assembly, with Islamic State, “economic terrorists” and US spying firmly in the firing line. RT has listened to all the speeches (so you don’t have to) to bring you the best quotes of the week so far.
1). Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General

The UN chief made an impassioned plea against violence, painting an alarming picture of current global crises, saying that warmongers are sabotaging any hopes of long-lasting peace.

"Diplomacy is on the defensive, undermined by those who believe in violence. Diversity is under assault by extremists who insist that their way is the only way. Disarmament is viewed as a distant dream, sabotaged by profiteers of perpetual warfare. But leadership is precisely about finding the seeds of hope and nurturing them into something bigger."
2). Barack Obama, US President
