Popis: | International action on the population problem rests on the assumption that it is a global problem and thus legitimately the concern of international society. Because there is at present no world government to provide laws or rules regulating the activities of all states and individuals on population matters, it devolves upon the spontaneous and fortuitous perception and action on the part of existing international institutions and individual countries to establish such action programmes as are possible under the circumstances. There is a widespread concern with the population problem today; many qualified observers have in recent years pointed out the dimensions of this problem and the dangers that might face mankind as a whole if it is not resolved in time. The words ‘demographic revolution’ and ‘population explosion’ are today common words in the international vocabulary. |
