December 20 is the International Human Solidarity Day.

The International Day of Human Solidarity reminds us of the importance of the outcomes of international agreements for social development, including the action programs of international conferences and multilateral agreements.

In order to commemorate the United Nations' first Decade for the Eradication of Poverty, on December 22, 2005, the General Assembly decided to declare December 20 of each year as the International Human Solidarity Day.

The General Assembly, in its resolution 57/265, established the World Solidarity Fund, which was established in February 2003 as a trust fund for UNDP.

The goal of this fund is to eradicate poverty and promote human and social development in developing countries, especially among the poorest strata.

Through initiatives such as the establishment of the World Solidarity Fund aimed at eradicating poverty and the proclamation of the International Day of Human Solidarity, the concept of solidarity was promoted as an important factor in the fight against poverty and the mobilization of all relevant stakeholders.

The International Day of Human Solidarity highlights the importance of working together to address global challenges and achieve global development goals. Solidarity with people suffering from poverty and oppression is one of the basic principles of the United Nations.

Solidarity is based on equality, inclusion and social justice and is an unspoken obligation between all sectors of society and the global community.

Out of this obligation, all development actors, whether governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, civil society and the private sector, should partner and cooperate.

The origin of Solidarity Day can also be seen in the declaration adopted by the Millennium Summit in 2000, in which governments included solidarity as an indispensable basic value in international relations in the twenty-first century.

They pointed out that global challenges should be dealt with in a manner that facilitates an equitable distribution of related costs and burdens in accordance with the basic principles of equality and social justice, and that those who suffer adverse effects or benefit the least have the right to receive help from those who benefit the most.
