Commission of Social Development

February found me attending the UN Commission's meeting. The purpose of this commission is to focus on PEOPLE "to make the conquest of poverty, the goal of full employment and the fostering of social integration overriding objectives of development." Put in other words, this commission articulates the VALUES that must be part of any UN activities. 

The Fifty-First Session of the Commission for Social Development convened at the United Nations in New York, from February 5 - 15. The priority theme for this year is "Promoting empowerment of people in achieving poverty eradication, social integration and full employment and decent work for all".
