The Bush Administration is increasing its efforts to weaken existing international agreements on sexual and reproductive health and rights including the Programme of Action of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and its five-year progress review (ICPD+5). Hence at the UN General Assembly Special Session on Children 8–10 May 2002 in New York the US delegation – aligning itself with the Holy See Iran Iraq Libya and Sudan – used its superpower status to try to undo the ICPD. Indeed John Klink the Holy See’s strategist at ICPD Beijing and ICPD +5 was this time a member of the US delegation. Fortunately the US and its allies did not prevail. More than 60 heads of state and numerous representatives of non-governmental organizations – 3000 in all from 170 countries – attended the Special Session to review the achievement of goals set at the 1990 World Summit for Children and agree on future actions. For the first time young people – more than 350 of them – attended a UN conference as participating delegates. (excerpt)
