Ever since the initiative taken in 1997 to include a separate agenda item on the culture of peace and the UNGA decision to do so allocating the item to the plenary of the General Assembly, every year the Assembly has adopted by consensus a comprehensive, self-standing\u00a0resolution on the culture of peace.<\/p>\n

The text of the draft resolution issued by the UN as an L. document\u00a0is attached<\/a>. Attached also is the full list of 102 Member States<\/a> which joined Bangladesh as co-sponsors making it possible for crossing the century mark.<\/p>\n

[Editor\u2019s note: Conspicuously absent from the co-sponsors are the United States and its principal allies such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, Australis.]<\/i>
\n\u00a0
\nPlease note additional elements and changes over the resolution (A\/Res.\/70\/20)\u00a0adopted last year in\u00a0 the following:<\/p>\n

– preambular para 9 (adding the two UN proclaimed days in addition to International Day of Non-Violence at the proposal of Armenia);<\/p>\n

– preambular para 17 (adding the increased interest, particularly of the Member States to make country statements in its Plenary segment of the High Level Forum and the President’s Summary issued for the first time in the Forum series);<\/p>\n

– operative para 6 (adding reference to vulnerable children in the of the UNICEF’s Early Childhood Peace Consortium);<\/p>\n

– operative para 8 ( adding “global citizenship” overcoming insistence by Myanmar and Cuba on referring to only\u00a0“active citizenship”),<\/p>\n

– operative para 12 ( adding the International Day of Non-Violence to the International Day of Peace requesting all to accord increasing attention to their observance);\u00a0and<\/p>\n

– operative para 13 (requesting the Secretariat to support\u00a0the effective organization of the High Level Forum).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wishing you all the best for 2017 in every way <\/p>\n
