The International Day of Solidarity provides an opportunity to focus our attention on the fact that the Palestinian people are yet to attain their inalienable rights as defined by the General Assembly, namely, the right to self-determination without external interference, the right to national independence and sovereignty, and the right to return to their homes and property from which they had been displaced. The All India Peace & Solidarity Organisation, West Bengal State Committee appeals to the people of the State to observe the day.
HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 10 December 2015
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948. The date is observed worldwide as the Human Rights Day. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the foremost statement of the fundamental rights and freedoms to which all men and women, everywhere in the world, are entitled, without any distinction. The Declaration also serves as the foundation for an expanding system of human rights protection that today focuses also on vulnerable groups such as disabled persons, indigenous peoples and migrant workers. The All India Peace & Solidarity Organisation, West Bengal State Committee appeals to the people of the State to observe the day throughout the state.
DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANTI-COLONIAL STRUGGLE 14 December 2015
The All India Peace & Solidarity Organisation West Bengal State Committee appeals to the people of the State to observe 14 December 2015 as the Day of Solidarity with the Anti- Colonial Struggle.
The day marks the adoption of a historic resolution, the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples [Resolution 1514 (XV)] by the UN General Assembly on 14 December 1960. The Declaration affirmed the right of all people to self-determination and proclaimed that colonialism should be brought to a speedy and unconditional end.
Since the creation of the United Nations more than 80 former colonies have gained their independence. There are 16 Non-Self-Governing Territories remaining today.
When the United Nations was established in 1945, 750 million people - almost a third of the world's population - lived under colonial subjugation. Today, fewer than 2 million people live in non-self governing territories.
