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.
