Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal respect for human rights and dignity

     The 2018 official theme stresses the criticality of ensuring that no one is left behind in all efforts to end poverty and to defend the human rights and dignity of people living in poverty. Therefore, the proposed theme stress the need to reach and include those “furthest behind”.

     The theme has not included explicitly the issue of refugee and migrants but it is the intention that these concerns will be discussed in the concept note that will accompany the selected theme and be published before the end of July 2018.

     Ensuring that human rights are a reality for all: overcoming together the challenges of reaching those furthest behind. Coming together with those furthest behind to build a world of universal respect for human rights and dignity.
