Convinced that the dissemination of information and the mobilization of public opinion among Member States would be an important factor in creating greater awareness of the problems of human settlements and would thus promote the increased efforts required in the sphere of international co-operation,

Reiterating the importance of publicity as an instrument for furthering the aims and purposes of the Foundation,

1. Requests the Secretary-General to stimulate and intensify efforts to mobilize public opinion in all countries in support of the objectives and policies of the United Nations Habitat and Human Settlements Foundation, having due regard to national policies, programmes and development priorities;

2. Invites all States, the specialized agencies and other organizations within the United Nations system and non-governmental organizations in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council, as well as other non-governmental organizations having a special interest in the field of human settlements, to undertake or intensify, in co-operation with the Secretary-General and within their respective spheres of competence, the broad dissemination of information referred to above.
