Focus on world's poor at General Assembly

On Saturday night, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf addressed the American Jewish Congress, saying his country could establish full diplomatic ties with Israel if it grants Palestinian statehood. He got a standing ovation, further evidence of thawing relations between Israel and the Arab world after the Israelis ended their 38-year Gaza occupation.

Underlying many global problems is the widening gap between rich and poor in many parts of the world — and the inability of the poorest to escape the poverty trap.

The 2005 U.N. Human Development Report, released Sept. 7, said more than 1 billion people still survive on less than $1 a day, and 2.5 billion live on less than $2 a day — about 40 percent of the world's 6.2 billion population.

The 35-page document adopted Friday by world leaders dropped a call for countries that haven't done so — including the United States — "to make concrete efforts" to earmark 0.7 percent of their gross domestic product to development assistance.

"Our second millennium faces the reality of growing poverty in two-thirds of the planet," Ecuador's President Alfredo Palacio said Sunday. "Entire nations are condemned to wander as disinherited immigrants, mortal illnesses hover over humanity, and terrorism lurks."
