THE OPPORTUNITY

Recent improvement in the international political climate can facilitate this task. Through international co operation and solidarity it should now be possible to achieve concrete results in many fields to revitalize economic growth and development to protect the environment to prevent the spread of fatal and crippling diseases and to achieve greater social and economic justice. The current moves towards disarmament also mean that significant resources could be released for purposes other than military ones. Improving the well being of children must be a very high priority when these resources are reallocated.
