History of International Human Solidarity Day
There is no doubt that solidarity is a key value for international relations in the 21st century, as outlined in the United Nations Millennium Declaration: “Global challenges must be handled fairly, according to the principles of social justice and equity.” We must provide assistance to those who suffer or who benefit least from our well-being.” Convinced that a culture of solidarity and a spirit of sharing was crucial to combating poverty and accomplishing the eight Millennium Development Goals, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 20 December as International Human Solidarity Day.
