Little more than four years. This is the time remaining on the UN to put an end to term was marked in 2002 to achieve its Millennium Development Goals. To get to carry out such a range of pastoral ideas that have not been taken too seriously by the international community.
On environmental issues, Goal 7 is very clear when pointing towards sustainable development and resource savings. But not only world leaders turned their backs on this precept in Copenhagen, but that today are permitted to plant sea oil is pulling thousands of gallons of crude and no one remedy. Drinking water remains a dream for millions of Africans who are forced to drink orange streams. The gap between rich and poor worsens, so that the conditions of the slums is still the same as years ago.
Goal 8 has no deadline for execution, but not the least important. You could say that is so crucial that takes place should have been already launched. In a globalized world is inadmissible as visible disparities exist between countries, but it is very nice say things like "will provide access to essential medicines in developing countries at affordable prices." Phrases like this silenced the conscience of the developed countries, who see every day the children who had the misfortune to be born in other continents dying from lack of vaccines that they have surplus. They are also too proud to cut the debts of years ago with developing countries. A debt can not be sustainable for those places where the population does not even have to eat. And at least for countries like Haiti, where they have lost everything.
The fixing some goals must not leave anyone indifferent, least of all the States who hold the reins of our lives. It should provide a clear commitment and no excuses. Because the world's future depends on decisions taken now, and if today the proposal of the UN is not met, what guidelines will be met tomorrow?
