Palestine Believes in Human Right's and the Eradication of Poverty

Palestinian children take part in the parade on the occasion of International Poverty Eradication Day in the West Bank city of Jenin, on 19 October 2008.

Last Friday marked the UN's International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, which commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Whether it is poverty or human rights, we as people across the globe should do our part to make a happier world for everyone.

Furthermore, as to these issue‘s, the Palestinian people are very strong advocates for a better world, free of poverty and stand firm on the issue of human right‘s especially right now in a world where too many people are having there basic right‘s violated; through such means as war, slavery, oppression, torture, terrorism and genocide.

Personally, it is a hope that in the future, these types of violations as well as other’s similar; become the past and with the valuable resources that we have as a global community, to one day irradiate poverty from our landscape completely.

Nevertheless, it should always be a reminder, that all people are important and we should always appreciate with the values to work together to actually resolve these global problems.-HRM Deborah
