Note: You should be aware of major international decades declared by the United Nations. The UN designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, based on the concern issues and competencies of the specialised organs of the UN, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc, these decades are declared by them. Some of these may be later adopted by the UN General Assembly.
