WORLD SUMMIT FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT:: YEAR-END UPDATE

<$TSpInterLn=1335>Even though the World Summit for Social Development (WSSD) has come and gone, important work remains to be done to implement the Programme of Action adopted by the Conference on 12 March 1995. In this regard, the 50th United Nations General Assembly reviewed the outcome of the Summit and adopted a resolution that sets out the role of the UN system in its implementation.

This special year-end issue of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin will summarize the results of the General Assembly's consideration of the Summit and highlight upcoming events. This issue of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin is published as part of a series of year-end issues intended to summarize the current state of play in the various sustainable development conferences and negotiations reported on by the Bulletin in 1995.
