World Population Day (EDM225)

World Population Day

EDM number 225 in 1997-98, proposed by Martyn Jones on 09/07/1997.

That this House calls attention to World Population Day on 11th July; commends the United Nations' Population Fund for designating this date in 1989 'to focus attention on the urgency and importance of world population issues...and the need to find solutions for these issues'; underlines the importance of human rights in population policies and programmes worldwide and the fundamental principles of non-coercion and informed choice for women, men and young people; endorses the concepts of reproductive and sexual health and rights as enshrined in the 1994 Cairo Programme of Action agreed at the UN International Conference on Population and Develpment and the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action agreed at the Fourth World Conference on Women; commends the International Planned Parenthood Federation for its Charter on Sexual and Reproductive Rights, identifying principles and commitments in international conventions and statements; and calls on the Department for International Development and the Department of Health to ensure that these international principles and standards are reflected in the implementation of reproductive and sexual health policy, programmes and services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
