"This resolution is about the under-appreciated role of language in the life of our human society. We feel that this deserves further discussion, perhaps legal protection of those translators working in conflict zones and in situations of higher risks," said Andrei Dapkiunas, Permanent Representative of Belarus to the United Nations.
