What is the procedure for designating an international day, week, year or decade? The General Assembly has designated specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Such days, weeks, years and decades have been proclaimed through the adoption of resolutions by the Assembly, proposed by one or more Member States. As far as international years are concerned, the annex to Economic and Social Council resolution 1980/67, entitled “Guidelines for future international years”, sets out the criteria and procedures with respect to proposals for future international years. The General Assembly has stressed that the criteria and procedures contained in the guidelines should be taken into account in considering future proposals for international years (see in particular Assembly decision 35/424 and resolutions 53/199 and 61/185). On occasion, prior to the General Assembly proclaiming specific days and years, specialized agencies of the United Nations have adopted decisions supporting the establishment of specific days and years.

Data for Better Lives

Today’s unprecedented growth of data and their ubiquity in our lives are signs that the data revolution is transforming the world. And yet much of the value of data remains untapped. Data collected for one purpose have the potential to generate economic and social value in applications far beyond those originally anticipated. But many barriers stand in the way, ranging from misaligned incentives and incompatible data systems to a fundamental lack of trust. World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives explores the tremendous potential of the changing data landscape to improve the lives of poor people, while also acknowledging its potential to open back doors that can harm individuals, businesses, and societies.#data4betterlives
