International Human Solidarity Day | United Nations
12月20日を「国際人間連帯の日」とすることを宣言
Introduction
The Sustainable Development Agenda is centred on people & planet, underpinned by human rights and supported by a global partnership determined to lift people out of poverty, hunger and disease. It will, thus, be built on a foundation of global cooperation and solidarity.
持続可能な開発アジェンダは、人と地球を中心とし、人権に支えられ、人々を貧困、飢餓、病気から救い出すことを決意したグローバル・パートナーシップに支えられています。したがって、それはグローバルな協力と連帯の基盤の上に築かれることになります。

Background
Solidarity is identified in the Millennium Declaration as one of the fundamental values of international relations in the 21st Century, wherein those, who either suffer or benefit least deserve help from those who benefit most. Consequently, in the context of globalization and the challenge of growing inequality, strengthening of international solidarity is indispensable.
Therefore, the UN General Assembly, convinced that the promotion of the culture of solidarity and the spirit of sharing is important for combating poverty, proclaimed 20 of December as International Human Solidarity Day.
Through initiatives such as the establishment of the World Solidarity Fund to eradicate poverty and the proclamation of International Human Solidarity Day, the concept of solidarity was promoted as crucial in the fight against poverty and in the involvement of all relevant stakeholders.
連帯は、「ミレニアム宣言」おいて、21世紀の国際関係の基本的価値の一つとして位置づけられており、最も苦しんでいる人々や最も利益を得ていない人々が、最も利益を得ている人々から援助を受けるに値するとされています。したがって、グローバル化と不平等の拡大という課題の中で、国際連帯の強化は不可欠である。
そこで、国連総会は、連帯の文化と分かち合いの精神を促進することが貧困との闘いに重要であると確信し、12月20日を「国際人間連帯の日」とすることを宣言しました。
貧困撲滅のための世界連帯基金の設立や国際人間連帯デーの宣言などの取り組みを通じて、連帯の概念は、貧困との戦いやすべての関係者の関与に不可欠であることが推進されました。
The UN and the Concept of Solidarity
The concept of solidarity has defined the work of the United Nations since the birth of the Organization. The creation of the United Nations drew the peoples and nations of the world together to promote peace, human rights and social and economic development. The Organization was founded on the basic premise of unity and harmony among its members, expressed in the concept of collective security that relies on the solidarity of its members to unite “to maintain international peace and security.”
It is in the spirit of solidarity that the Organization relies on “cooperation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character” as well.
The General Assembly, on 22 December 2005, by resolution 60/209 identified solidarity as one of the fundamental and universal values that should underlie relations between peoples in the twenty-first century, and in that regard decided to proclaim 20 December of each year International Human Solidarity Day.
By resolution 57/265 the General Assembly, on 20 December 2002, established the World Solidarity Fund, which was set up in February 2003 as a trust fund of the United Nations Development Programme. Its objective is to eradicate poverty and promote human and social development in developing countries, in particular among the poorest segments of their populations.
