Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. First International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People
The United Nations declared 1995-2004 as the First International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People. The Decade was a time for the international community to focus on the situation of indigenous peoples and to promote their rights. The Decade was also a time for indigenous peoples to share their cultures and traditions with the world.
The United Nations has declared several other international decades, including:
- The First United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (1990-1999)
- The International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010)
- The Second International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People (2005-2014)
- The Third International Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (2010-2020)
- The International Decade of Family Farming (2019-2028)
These decades are important because they provide a focus for international action on important issues. They also help to raise awareness of these issues and to promote solutions.
