Friday, May 17, 2002“Early on May 11, the UN General Assembly Special Session on Children unanimously adopted a draft resolution to protect children from disease and poverty after tense negotiations in which the USA, backed by many Islamic nations, was accused of imposing a right-wing agenda. (italics are mine) and.... ”Carol Bellamy, Executive Director of UNICEF, was positive about the session, which marked the first time children were included as delegates and had their own Children's Forum preceding the UN meeting. "I could not imagine meetings that set agendas for children not including them in the future", she commented, citing the "extraordinary difference and vitality felt by their inclusion as official delegates" Which explains the subheading within the article: “Children celebrate at the end of the Children's Forum” Poor kids. I'd celebrate the end of endless bureaucratic meetings, too. posted by Sydney on 5/17/2002 07:56:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
