International Human Solidarity Day was marked on Wednesday across the world, including in Pakistan, emphasizing the crucial need for collective unity among human beings to address global challenges.
The day serves as a reminder to governments and the international community to uphold commitments to eradicate poverty, hunger, and diseases.
On December 22, 2005, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) recognized solidarity as a fundamental and universal value in twenty-first-century relations between peoples. This led to the proclamation of December 20 as International Human Solidarity Day, focusing on people, the planet, and human rights.
In a bid to reinforce global commitment, the General Assembly established the World Solidarity Fund on December 20, 2002.
