[governance] REVISION 4 Draft statement to UNSG on bypassing CSTD

[Deirdre Williams]

My point too. If we expect others to respect the diversity of languages used
by civil society and generally online, then we need to be seen to be
offering that respect ourselves.
And I expect we would also like to be clearly understood by everyone, no
matter which language they may feel comfortable in.
