    Abstract:
    Resolution No. 44/82, December 8, 1989, of the UN General Assembly declaring 1994 the International Year if the Family begins with resolving to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, with a view to the creation of conditions of stability and well-being, which are necessary for peaceful and friendly relation between nations, guided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, and the Declaration on Social Progress and Development, according to which the widest possible protection and assistance should be accorded to the family. The Resolution recognizes the efforts of Governments at the local, regional, and national levels in carrying out specific programs concerning the family, in which the UN may have an important role to play, and in raising awareness, increasing understanding, and promoting policies that improve the position and well-being of the family. 1994 is the International Year of the Family; major activities for the observance of the Year should be concentrated at the local, regional, and national levels and assisted by the UN and its system of organizations, with a view to creating among Governments, policy-makers, and the public a greater awareness of the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. The General Assembly requests the Secretary-General to prepare a draft program for the preparation for the observance of the Year, to submit a progress report to the General Assembly, and take specific measures, through all the communication media at his disposal, to give widespread publicity to the activities of the UN system in the area of family issues and to increase the dissemination of information on this subject.
