UJUMBE WA KATIBU MKUU WA UMOJA WA MATAIFA, BAN KI- MOON KATIKA KUADHIMISHA SIKU YA MAJI DUNIANI

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Katika miongo ijayo, suala la kuulisha umma wa ulimwengu na kuhakikisha  usalama wa chakula kwa wote litategemea ongezeko la uzalishaji wa chakula. Hii inamaanisha ni lazima kuhakikisha kuwepo kwa matumizi endelevu ya rasilimali muhimu kabisa yenye kikomo—maji.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ujumbe muhimu wa mwaka huu wa Siku ya Maji Duniani ni ‘ maji na  usalama wa chakula’. Kilimo ndicho kinachotumia zaidi maji. Hivyo tusipoongeza kiwango chetu cha kutumia maji kwa uangalifu katika shughuli za kilimo, tutashindwa kumaliza baa la njaa, na kutoa fursa ya kupata matatizo mengine ikiwamo ukame, njaa na vurugu za kisiasa. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Katika sehemu mbalimbali ulimwenguni, uhaba wa maji unaongezeka huku uzalishaji wa kilimo ukipungua. Aghalabu, mabadiliko ya tabia nchi yamezidisha </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">hatari ya kupata hasara na hali ya wakulima kutokuwa na matarajio ya uhakika, hususan kwa wakulima masikini katika nchi za kipato cha chini ambao ndio hasa wanakabiliwa na tishio hili huku wakiwa na uwezo mdogo wa kukabiliana na hali hiyo. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Changamoto hizi zinazoingiliana zimeongeza ushindani miongoni mwa jumuiya na nchi katika kupata rasilimali adimu ya maji, na kuchochea matatizo ya kale ya usalama na kuzalisha matatizo mengine, hivyo kuweka vikwazo katika upatikanaji wa haki za msingi za binadamu za kupata chakula, maji, na usafi. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kukiwepo takriban watu bilioni moja wenye njaa na milioni 800 wanaokosa maji biladia, yapo mengi tunayopaswa kufanya ili kuimarisha misingi ya utulivu katika ngazi mahalia, kitaifa na kimataifa.  Kuhakikisha kuwepo kwa usalama endelevu wa chakula na maji kwa wote kunahitaji uhusishwaji wa wadau na sekta zote. Jukumu hilo litajumuisha uhamishaji wa teknolojia mahsusi ya maji, uwezeshaji wa wazalishaji wadogowadogo wa chakula na uhifadhi wa huduma muhimu za mazingira. Vilevile utahitaji sera zinazohamasisha haki ya maji kwa wote, uwezo mkubwa zaidi wa usimamizi na usawa wa kijinsia.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Uwekezaji katika miundombinu ya maji, maendeleo ya vijiji na matumizi bora ya maji utakuwa jambo muhimu kabisa.  Sote tunapaswa kutiwa nguvu na mwamko mpya ya wanasiasa kuhusiana na usalama  wa chakula, kama inavyodhihirishwa na umuhimu wa hali ya juu uliopewa suala hili  kwenye ajenda za nchi za G8 na G20, pia mkazo unaojumuisha masuala ya chakula, maji  na nishati kwenye ripoti yangu kwa Jopo nililoliteua la Dunia Endelevu, na kuongezeka  kwa nchi zinazojiunga na Mpango wa Kukuza na Kuimarisha Lishe. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Katika Siku hii ya Maji Duniani, nawasihi washirika wote waitumie kikamilifu fursa inayotolewa na kuwepo kwa mkutano wa Rio+20 wa Maendeleo Endelevu. Huko Rio, tutahitaji kuunganisha nukta ndogondogo zilizopo baina ya usalama wa maji, chakula na lishe katika muktadha wa uchumi wa kijani. Maji yatakuwa na jukumu kubwa katika kujenga dunia tuitakayo. </span></div>

MESSAGE ON World Down Syndrome Day 21 March 2012

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today marks the first commemoration of World Down Syndrome Day. I congratulate the global partnership of governments, activists, families, professionals and others that worked so tirelessly and passionately to bring this Day into existence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For too long, persons with Down syndrome, including children, have been left on the margins of society. In many countries, they continue to face stigma and discrimination as well as legal, attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinder their participation in their communities.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Discrimination can be as invidious as forced sterilization or as subtle as segregation and isolation through both physical and social barriers. Persons with Down syndrome are often denied the right to equal recognition before the law, as well as the right to vote or be elected. Intellectual impairments have also been seen as legitimate grounds for depriving persons with Down syndrome of their liberty, and for holding them in specialized institutions, sometimes for their entire lives.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In many countries, girls and boys with intellectual disabilities lack sufficient access to mainstream education. The prejudice that children with Down syndrome obstruct the education of others has led some parents of children with intellectual disabilities to put their children in special schools or keep them at home. Yet research shows – and more people are coming to understand – that diversity in the classroom leads to learning and understanding that benefit all children. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The United Nations has worked for decades to ensure the well-being and human rights of all people. These efforts were strengthened by the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006. The Convention embodies a paradigm shift in which persons with disabilities are no longer regarded as objects of charity and welfare, but as persons with equal rights and dignity who can make an enormous contribution to society in their own right. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On this day, let us reaffirm that persons with Down syndrome are entitled to the full and effective enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms. Let us each do our part to enable children and persons with Down syndrome to participate fully in the development and life of their societies on an equal basis with others. Let us build an inclusive society for all</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The FCA report, Tobacco Watch: Monitoring Countries’ Performance on the Global Treaty, documents various industry activities in numerous countries that are Parties to the first global health treaty, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Such activities contravene measures in the Convention’s Article 5.3, and its Guidelines, on tobacco industry interference. For example, half of the national NGO partners that collected research indicated that the tobacco industry is running so-called corporate social responsibility (CSR) campaigns in their countries.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The World Health Organization has called tobacco industry CSR “an inherent contradiction”, and the Article 5.3 Guidelines call on Parties to reject such initiatives. Multinational tobacco companies often use CSR activities to circumvent advertising bans, allowing them to positively brand themselves without explicitly promoting a tobacco product. A ban on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship is included in the FCTC.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Tobacco industry activities like those reported in Tobacco Watch do more than violate Article 5.3 of the FCTC: they impede progress on implementing all other measures in the Convention, which are proven to be effective and cost-effective,” said FCA Director Laurent Huber.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“In fact, the Political Declaration of the United Nations NCD Summit recognised the key role of tobacco control in combating NCDs – which account for 60 percent of the world’s deaths – and specifically recommended accelerating implementation of the FCTC,” Huber added.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to Yul Francisco Dorado of Corporate Accountability International: “This year’s Tobacco Watch reminds us that the primary challenge the treaty faces is not a lack of political or public will, but a defiant, invasive and ultimately deadly industry. Ending tobacco industry interference is paramount to the success of the treaty at large.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>IF LEFT UNCHECKED, TOBACCO USE WILL KILL 8 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR BY 2030, 70% OF THEM IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. FCA IS WORKING TO CHANGE THIS. WE ARE MORE THAN 350 ORGANISATIONS FROM OVER 100 COUNTRIES THAT SUPPORT THE GLOBAL TOBACCO CONTROL TREATY, THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON TOBACCO CONTROL (FCTC). SEE HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR WORK AT WWW.FCTC.ORG.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With more than 170 Parties, the FCTC is one of the most successful international conventions. It includes other specific steps for governments addressing tobacco use, including to:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• Adopt tax and price measures to reduce tobacco consumption;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• Create smoke-free work and public spaces;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• Put prominent health warnings on tobacco packages;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• Combat illicit trade in tobacco products.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tobacco use is responsible for the death of nearly six million people annually, 70 percent of them in the developing world. If current trends continue, WHO estimates that one billion people will die of tobacco-related causes in the 21st century.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The three leading tobacco transnationals – Philip Morris International (PMI), British American Tobacco (BAT) and Japan Tobacco (JT) – had combined revenues of US$210 billion in 2010, far eclipsing the gross domestic products of many of the countries where they operate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tobacco Watch also found:</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A revolving door for employees to move between jobs with government and the tobacco industry in more than half of the countries that reported; Partnerships or non-enforceable agreements between government and industry in nearly half of reporting countries; Industry-run programmes claiming to prevent youth smoking in more than half of countries that reported.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All these activities violated FCTC Article 5.3 Guidelines. Tobacco Watch also reports on Parties performance in implementing FCTC articles dealing with reporting, smoke-free air, package warning labels, marketing and taxation<img alt="" src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" /></span></div>
