 When will dignity for all be achieved? What is the bare minimum required for a decent life for all? The world leaders who signed the Declaration did not define it clearly, but its principles are embedded in the commitment to achieve certain targets by 2015. Some of these goals are set “for all” (100% basic education, 100% access to water and sanitation), while others aspire, for example, to “reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger”. Such a reduction would be a major achievement… but still leave the other half hungry. When will we achieve the basic standards of material dignity for all the world’s people? Not in a hundred years unless we substantially accelerate the current trends of progress in the social areas! |
