World Autism Awareness Day is a nationally observed day on the 2nd of April every year, encouraging Member States of the United Nations to take measures to raise awareness about children with autism throughout the world. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution "62/139. World Autism Awareness Day", passed in council on November 1, 2007, and adopted on December 18, 2007. It was proposed by the United Nations representative from Qatar, Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al-Missned, Consort of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, and supported by all member states. This resolution was passed and adopted without a vote in the UN General Assembly - mainly as a supplement to previous UN initiatives to improve human rights.〔 Since its creation the awareness of autism issues have been brought all over the world and autism researched as boomed as a result. World Autism Day is also one of only four official health-specific UN Days. The day itself brings individual autism organizations together all around the world to aid in things like research, diagnoses, treatment, and overall awareness for those with the disorder and looking for help. == Components == The original resolution had four main components: * the establishment of the 2nd day of April as World Autism Awareness Day, beginning in 2008 * invitation to Member States and other relevant organizations to the UN or the international societal system, including non-governmental organizations and the private sector, to create initiatives to raise public awareness of autism * encourages Member States to raise awareness of autism on all levels in society * asks the UN Secretary-General to deliver this message to member states and all other UN organizations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Autism Awareness Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
