We also request that the basis upon which contribution assessments have been made since 1945 be re-examined in line with the realities of the world in 1995 including, for example, defense spending by member states. Some members are just not paying their fair share. We further encourage the prompt establishment of a small UN surcharge on all international tickets. In recognition of the role of young people and of education, we call upon all of the 185 member states to implement teaching about the United Nations as an essential component of all educational programs. Young people must be involved in the preparation of appropriate materials to increase awareness and knowledge about the United Nations and the world in 1995.
Education is the most effective alternative to conflict.
This is why more resources must be made available, in schools and in the popular media, to presenting information about the United Nations. In this way education may become an effective force to promote a better world through increasing awareness of the United Nations and its peoples.
