The promotion of the culture of solidarity and the spirit of
sharing is
vital in combating poverty. Thus the United Nations General Assembly
proclaimed December 20 of each year as International Human Solidarity
Day. Solidarity has defined the work of the United Nations since its
birth and its creation drew the peoples of the world together to
promote peace, human rights, and social and economic development.
International Human Solidarity Day serves to remind us about the
importance of solidarity and how, guided by the spirit of human
solidarity and a shared sense of justice and fairness, we can all make
our own voluntary contributions in overcoming difficulties that
challenge our world today. International Human Solidarity Day was
established by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2005 as an
initiative in the fight against poverty.
