U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan propeses poverty-battle plan
(by Dr.Goldfinger)
|
|
This Monday the U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has presented his report on reforms directed at adapting security concerns of wealthy states with poor nations’ battle against poverty and disease. Annan recommended a fundamental program of struggling with poverty. It also includes a renewed human rights body, conviction of any terrorism display and a list of management and watchdog reforms.
"Even if he can vote to choose his rulers, a young man with AIDS who cannot read or write and lives on the brink of starvation, is not truly free," Annan wrote.
"Equally, even if she earns enough to live, a woman who lives in the shadow of daily violence and has no say in how her country is run is not truly free," he said.
"In today’s world, no state, however powerful, can protect itself on its own," Annan also said.
