United Nations observances

The United Nations observances are days, weeks, months, years and decades where issues that are important for humanity are brought to the attention and given a forum. In several of the resolutions where the decision has been taken for a particular observance, it is mentioned that the observance has to be taken up in the educational curriculum, and often as well that the member organisations to the UN are supposed to make a budget available and feedback an agenda of planned activities and a report of those. Some of the observances are a very hot item to some members and much maneuvering is done to limit the impact and resources that go to the observance. The UN Decade for people of African descent reporting for the EU-28 has e.g. fallen under the responsibility of the Belgian delegation to the UN; Belgium being one of Africa's eight former colonial powers. * International observance * World AIDS Day * International Day for Biological Diversity * International Dance Day * International Year of Deserts and Desertification * International Day of Disabled Persons * Year of the Dolphin * World Creativity and Innovation Day * Earth Day * International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women * World Environment Day * International Holocaust Remembrance Day * Human Rights Day * International Day for the Eradication of Poverty * International Year of Disabled Persons * International Year of the Child * International Year of the Potato * International Literacy Day * International Year of Microcredit * International Mother Language Day * World No Tobacco Day * International Year of Older Persons * International Day of Peace * World Year of Physics 2005 * International Year of Planet Earth * World Press Freedom Day * International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People * International Year to Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition * World Television Day * International Day for Tolerance * United Nations Year for Tolerance * World Tourism Day * World Tuberculosis Day * United Nations Day * World Day for Water * International Women's Day * World Book and Copyright Day * World Food Day * World Health Day * World Intellectual Property Day * World Poetry Day * World Teachers' Day * International Youth Day * International Youth Year
