WE AS ONE


     United Nations Day is celebrated during 24th of October. United Nations Day marks the 73rd anniversary of the Un charter's entry into force, and celebrates everything that the UN represents and has achieved since it's establishment in 1945.

     The United Nation Month 2018 theme is "Comingtogether with those furthest behind build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity". In the 25 years since the first International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, human development has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, and has increased economic and social oppurtunities for many more accross the world. Yet, while hundreds of millions of people have moved above the poverty line, we are not yet reaching everyone. The theme reminds us that ensuring access to basic needs like water, food, shelter, or safety will also give back some basic human rights and dignity to millions of people. It is important to recall the fundamental connection between human rights and extreme poverty, and that people living in poverty are disproprotionately affected by many human rights violations.

     With the distance that we have from other countries accross the world, there is a big gap present between and among our countries. So, to develop and build our relationship and to commit a parallel and common universal rights and dignity, we should have closer relationships and connections with each other. With this, there will be a common understanding and respect with each other.

On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, let's reflect on the progress made, and recommit to ensuring no one is left behind.
