The Proposal of the New Global Human Order was initiated by the late President of Guyana, Dr Cheddi Jagan and has received the support of the United Nations General Assembly in Resolutions entitled “The role of the United Nations in the promotion of a New Global Human Order “ in 2000, 2002 and 2007.
The latest Resolution in 2007 which was co-sponsored by 74 countries and unanimously approved, requested “the Secretary General to submit to the General Assembly at its sixty-fifth session a report on the implementation of the present resolution and to include in that report an assessment of the implications of inequality for development.”
The 65th Session will begin in September 2010.
