The world is richer than ever, and the gaps between rich and poor are wider.

Human rights are praised more than ever - and violated as much as ever.

Two poor together are richer than one poor because they can somehow help each other!

One of the gaps in our international development efforts is the provision of global public goods - that is, goods or conditions we need that no individual or country can secure on their own, such as halting global warming, financial stability and peace and security.

Developed countries and advanced developing countries must open their markets for products from the developing world, and support in developing their export and import capacity.

The rich are richer, and the poor are poorer, in the city than elsewhere; and, as a rule, the greater are the riches of the rich and the poverty of the poor.
