Welcome To Festive Earth Society

The World Health Organization (WHO) wants to sensitize the international community on issues of international health security on the occasion of World Health Day, when the threat of an avian flu pandemic still looms. "Health security is a collective responsibility", the WHO argues that commemorates its inception, as every year on April 7. 
 

"In my youth I worked with the European Coal and Steel Community and remember the genesis of this first European institution. Jean Monnet started from the belief that Europe would not be given a coup, but step by step.
 
 
 Wanting to start by creating a "de facto solidarity", it was thought that the Coal and Steel Community, which had been used to make war, could be a symbol of peaceful reconstruction and serve as a basis for both the Franco-German reconciliation that 'to the unity of Europe. He persuaded Robert Schuman, french then Minister of Foreign Affairs, launched the idea and made sure it would be well received by Konrad Adenauer, the German Chancellor, and strongly supported by the American Administration.
 
 
 
 The Europe of today bears no resemblance to that which Monnet dreamed but the ECSC has nevertheless served as a base for a European awareness. Now, the threats are aimed humanity as a whole and that is to bring global consciousness. Hence the question: is there an area that would help crystallize a "de facto solidarity" at the global level, an area where the urgency and seriousness of problems justify the sharing of certain powers and some resources?

The term globalization defines the process by which countries, companies and people are more dependent relationship between them and throughout the world, due to the acceleration of economic integration and trade communication, " intensification of those cultures (including Western culture) and travel. This phenomenon is not new and we should not necessarily fear or rebel against him. Thirty years ago, in the community in charge of public health, many were strong proponent of global anxious inequalities appearing at the international level and weight unjust diseases afflicting many of the poor in the world. We wanted to share our wealth and our democracies. We wanted, while supporting, learning the movements of emancipation of the peoples that have emerged in the wake of post-colonial struggles. We wanted to travel and meet with people from other cultures. We wanted a global village. This kind of globalization that we can still marry. Our populist protests about the current globalization have adopted, wrongly, the media called "anti-globalization". We are not anti-globalisation, we are democratic globalizers. There he is a "snag" because what we have today is not a global village but rather a market place in the world where the demands of capital and economic interest self-reported speech earlier on our dignity and justice displaced and somewhat archaic.
 The discussion on the nuances of current globalization is beyond the scope of this article. We now have evidence that globalization has beneficial effects on human health (eg gender parity in power at any level in society and the sharing of technologies), but it presents risks (the growing disparity between income and environmental degradation, as the figures on poverty reduction that are mediocre). Instead, this article will focus on one of the vehicles accomplice to the triumph of the global market to the detriment of the global village: namely, the establishment of binding rules of "free trade", mainly through the World Trade Organization (WTO).
 The agreements of the World Trade Organization and health The WTO was established in 1995 and is the result of multilateral trade negotiations of the Uruguay meeting on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Gatt). It is the only multilateral organization (supra) with executive powers, which may impose fines or trade concessions in return for payment. It administers twenty-nine trade agreements, investment and "in connection with" various trade. The basic principles that underlie all of the WTO agreements are "reciprocal treatment or national" (goods, services or foreign investments are regulated in the same manner as their national counterparts), the nation's most " favored "(special privileges granted to a trading partner must be extended to all member countries) and the trade restrictions" lighter "(Social and environmental regulations in the country must be those that interfere as little world trade). Several agreements specifically focused on the tracks economic, social and environmental binding globalization and health.

Investing in health peut apparaître incongru in health promotion. Cela peut être perçu comme en effet de placer un conseil des capitaux dans le domaine de la santé en leur assurant des rendements intéressants. Il ne s'agit bien sûr pas de cette signification. Les investisseurs ne nous ont d'ailleurs pas un secteur attendus pour exploiter aussi sur le plan profitable commercial avec son cortège of méga-fusions.
 Investir en santé en effet should be read "invest to health." Selon la proposition de l'WHO-Europe, il s'agit d'une approche de la promotion Health visant à utiliser les ressources au mieux pour agir le plus efficacement possible au niveau des socioeconomic determinants of health. A triangle résume bien cette approche (santé au sommet, determinants social and economic determinants à la base) et nous rappelle importance of the socio-economic situation of individuals, families, des communautés et des sociétés dans le développement de la Santé et public well-being.
 
 Mieux vaut bien-être riche et portant…
 In Europe, the differences between socioeconomic subsistent les pays de l'Ouest et de l'Est et à l'intérieur de ceux-ci (WHO-Europe 1999a; UNICEF 1997). On observe dans l'état des différences sanitaire des populations or groups of population en fonction du socioeconomic gradient.
 Par exemple, il ya une moyenne de différence 9 à 12 ans d'espérance de vie ou sans handicap disabling maladies entre les pays les plus riches et les plus pauvres d'Europe. A l'intérieur de chaque pays Européen, on observe une relation entre le niveau socio-économique et une vie plus comfortable exempte of labeur harassant physique, and acoustic pollution toxicologique. Il n'est même plus besoin de préciser quel sens dans ce gradient goes ou en faveur de quel social group.
