United Nations Organization UNO International Years

  By GK Planet Team       Tuesday, 19 July 2016
»  The United Nations observes designated days, weeks, years, and decades, each with a theme, or topic.
»  By creating special observances, the United Nations promotes international awareness and action on various issues.
»  Since 1959 the UN has designated International Years in order to draw attention to major issues and to encourage international action to address concerns which have global importance and ramifications.
»  The majority of observances have been established by resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, although some have been designated by UN specialized agencies.
»  The United Nations (UN) dedicates an entire calendar year to focus on particular topics or themes. Many countries actively participate in promoting these years.
