Subject: [SDOH] International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
 
Dear SDOH colleagues,

Call to Action: Ending Extreme Poverty, a Road to Peace

In 1992, the United Nations General Assembly recognised October 17th as 
the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, in recognition of 
the commemorations around this Day that had been taking place since 1987 
under the name of World Day to Overcome Extreme Poverty.

In 2005, UN General Assembly Resolution 60/209 asked the Secretary 
General in paragraph 55 "to undertake a review of the observance of the 
Day in order to identify lessons learned and ways to promote the 
mobilization of all stakeholders in the fight against poverty." The 
outcome of this review is presented in UN Secretary General report 
A/61/308 to be found at http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/poverty/poverty.htm

As part of this review, an international Seminar was held in Montreal in 
May 2006. The Seminar participants issued a global petition entitled: 
"Call to Action: Ending Extreme Poverty, a Road to Peace"  to mark the 
upcoming 20th anniversary of the International Day for the Eradication of 
Poverty, October 17th, 2007.

This Call to Action can be downloaded in English, French and Spanish at
www.oct17.org/site/-Call-to-action-.html  It can also be signed on line 
at www.oct17.org/site/Count-me-in.html  Feel free to disseminate largely 
through networks.
