UNA-NY 2007 Resolutions

The United Nations Association of the USA adopted sixteen Resolutions at the 2007 Biennial National Convention, held on February 28-March 4. These Resolutions support the UNA mission to increase U.S. engagement and leadership in the UN, and specifically called on the U.S. to become party to a number of outstanding treaties and to take action to fulfill obligations in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals.

UNA-NY's Advocacy Committee, on behalf of the UNA-NY Chapter, introduced and advocated for two of the Final Resolutions: Darfur and Human Trafficking.

I. Genocide in Darfur

II. The Pervasive Global Trafficking in Women, Men and Children for Illegal and Immoral Ends

III. Other UNA Resolutions

- Read all 16 UNA resolutions on issues ranging from the Millennium Development Goals to the Kyoto Agreement to support for UN peacekeeping.
