WHEREAS, this year the peoples of the world will celebrate the 30th anniversary:
` of the United Nations on October 24, UN Day. This is, an appropriate
- occasion for people everywhere..to renew their adherence to the Charter
,ideals of peace and human rights and their determination to promote
economic and social progress and a greater measure of justice and
freedom for all.
WHEREAS, this year finds _us at:a_turning__p_oint in world affairs: We sense the
promise :of'a more peaceful world-and the opportunity for new strides in
international cooperation. To maintain this momentum will-require still
greater efforts and more effective international institutions.: We need
to 'create new arrangements to control new technologies; for the common
• good. We must continue to recognize the interests of rich and poor
countries on matters'of trade and aid-- Equal rights for all peoples
must become a reality in fact as well as law.
WHEREAS, important steps have zlready been taken _by the United Nations in meeting
these challenges. The UN has once again provided a, mutually_ acceptable
mechanism for carrying out the -next <steps toward peace in the Middle
East. The 7th Special Session of the General Assembly marked a beginning
of a new relationship between the industrialized and developing countries
on economic` matters." The International Women's Conference held in Mexico
City this summer adopted a World Plan-of-Action which :includes virtually
every aspect of contemporarylife - civil rights, education, employment,
health and nutrition, among others.
