1996 Eradication of Poverty
1996 A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL PEOPLE. STATEMENT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY
Economic development, social development and environmental protection are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. At the core of this consensus is the centrality of the human person. While honouring the dignity of each person, there is a collective need to eradicate attitudes of greed if we are to at all alleviate the global concern of human poverty.
