GUYANA DECRIES WIDENING INCOME GAP BETWEEN RICH, POOR NATIONS IN UN
ASSEMBLY SPEECHNew York, Sep 26 2013 8:00PMAs the United Nations
prepares to set a long-term development agenda for the decades
following the end of the current Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
cycle, it must address the "skewed" income gap favouring rich
countries, <"http://gadebate.un.org/68/guyana-0">Guyana warned today.

"If there is one lesson to be drawn from efforts to achieve the MDGs,
it is that addressing inequality is crucial to the achievement of
sustainable development objectives," Guyanese President Donald R.
Ramotar told the General Assembly on the third day of its annual
General Debate.

"Income distribution continues to be skewed in favour of the rich
nations and rich persons within countries. This gap has grown
dangerously wider. Needless to say, inequality leads to great
discontentment and social unrest. At the heart of many of the
conflicts we see today is the widening gap between the haves and have
nots."

The theme of this year's 68th General Assembly is "The Post 2015
Development Agenda: Setting the Stage!" aims at drawing up an even
more ambitious blueprint to totally eliminate poverty and its
attendant ills in the decades following the end in 2015 of the MDGs
cycle.

The eight Goals, adopted at a 2000 UN summit, aim to slash extreme
hunger and poverty, boost access to health care and education, achieve
gender equality and environmental stability, reduce maternal and child
mortality and the incidence of HIV/AIDS, all by the end of 2015.

Mr. Ramotar noted that despite substantial progress towards achieving
the MDGs, there were many shortcomings. "Health and education
challenges threaten the sustainability of hard earned
socio-economic gains," he said.

"Today, still more than one billion people live in extreme poverty
and one in eight persons on the planet suffer from chronic
undernourishment, among them more than 200 million children. In
addition, we still have 57 million children who are out of school.
This needs to be urgently corrected."

He highlighted the role the UN must play in ensuring that poorer,
smaller developing countries are not always put at a disadvantage at
the level of international economic discourse and action.

"In setting the agenda for the post-2015 Development Agenda, we
believe that we should continue the pursuit of eradicating poverty.
The United Nations must not allow this objective to be lost among the
many other demands that exist."Sep 26 2013 8:00PM
