On 4 July 1994, Václav Havel was awarded the [[Philadelphia Liberty Medal]]. In his acceptance speech, he said: "The idea of human rights and freedoms must be an integral part of any meaningful world order. Yet I think it must be anchored in a different place, and in a different way, than has been the case so far. If it is to be more than just a slogan mocked by half the world, it cannot be expressed in the language of departing era, and it must not be mere froth floating on the subsiding waters of faith in a purely scientific relationship to the world."<ref>[http://www.constitutioncenter.org/libertymedal/recipient_1994_speech.html 1994 Speech Václav Havel – Liberty Medal], National Constitution Center</ref>
