| Haile Selassie the First - February 20, 1963 |
From time immemorial, hunger, disease and illiteracy have been man's
persistent enemies which have plagued his effort to lead a fuller and
healthier life.
Being aware of the urgent necessity to eradicate these causes of human
misery, and having realized that this could only be done through their
concerted actions in the various agencies of the United Nations, the
nations of the world have joined hands and pulled together their resources
and energies to fight back these scourges.
When, in 1960, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations, determined to free mankind from the scourge of hunger, which is
one of the three enemies of man, presented a programme of "Freedom
From Hunger Campaign" to the Tenth Session of the FAO and the General
Assembly of the United Nations, Ethiopia was one of the foremost
countries to support and endorse the proposal.
Apart from the various actions and programmes which We endeavour to
initiate to enhance and promote the welfare of Our beloved people, Our
efforts to propose and support variuos programmes at the variuos forums
of the United Nations and its specialized agencies have given encourgaging
results.
At all times, Ethiopia will continue to be the first to take action on such
programmes that are designed to fight and eradicate such enemies which
threaten human life and prosperity.
All nations have readily and fully endorsed the proposal that the "Freedom
From Hunger Campaign" should be established within the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
