The Relationship

"Physically and politically powerless, children have always gotten the short end of the stick. In earlier times, the surplus, especially females, were legally and deliberately killed; in the Middle Ages and until recently children were chattels; in Dickensian England they starved in workhouses or were exploited as beggars a la Oliver Twist...." Louise Raggio, Conference Participant The building Frank Lloyd Wright called Wingspread served as the setting for a discussion concerning the relationship of the health of the young to their legal needs and the role of the pediatrician in these regards. Men and women from medicine, the law, and social work shared their points of view, seeking a firm definition of advocacy for children, attempting to highlight some manageable priorities among the legal needs so that pediatricians might move to a partnership with others in the community which might facilitate access to a better life for all children and youth.

Stockholm Conference

World War has produced many negative effects. Environmental pollution is one of the negative effects of world war. Pollution in the world is increasingly alarming. On this basis, the United Nations conducted an environmental conference in June 1972 in Stockholm, Sweden. The Stockholm Conference is considered the highest peak of environmental awareness at the international level. The Stockholm Conference produced an environmental legal concept called suitanable development. The results of the Stockholm conference underwent follow-up and obliged the conference participant countries to ratify it. Indonesia fulfilled this obligation by establishing Law No. 4 of 1982 concerning the basic provisions of environmental management. The law has several important instruments in environmental protection, namely an analysis of environmental impacts and environmental quality standards. In 1997 the law was revised and underwent several additions to environmental protection instruments. The final revision of environmental law is Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning environmental protection and management. The latest law has more complex environmental protection instrumentsKeyword: History, Development, Environmental Law

Abstract Following the decision by the EUPHA/EPH Conference Green Club to use the WHO EURO checklist for healthy and sustainable meetings for the EPH Conferences in Ljubljana 2018, the Green Club thought it a good idea to set a baseline on the health-related and sustainability measures for conferences organised in Europe. If we could compare several European conferences on public health related topics with our own EPH Conference, we could formulate objectives for the future, to be included in the next EPH Conference strategy 2020-2025. The ambitious idea of the Green Club was that EPH Conferences should always be above the average of other conferences organised in EUPHA, whilst continuing to strive for being the best in Europe. The executive director of EUPHA decided to use the WHO EURO checklist for all the meetings and conferences she would attend in 2019. In the planning for 2019 were 20 meetings throughout Europe. It is expected that this would provide a nice baseline. The WHO EURO checklist includes questions on venue and transport, invitation and conference materials, food, beverages, tobacco-free, physical activity classes and breaks, waste and use of sustainable materials. Special attention was given to people with disabilities. The interim results (until the end of April) show that a large fraction of the questions can only be answered if you are the conference organiser, not a conference participant. This was true for questions like: ‘Does the venue use energy-efficient practices?’. Some questions address more fundamental issues, e.g.: ‘Is holding a meeting in a virtual format ... an option?’. The issues of travel mode and/or emission offsetting are not included. Overall, the checklist approach seems useful. Short of supporting benchmarking, it helps collecting qualitative information and model solutions, and may foster networking among associations towards healthy and sustainable meetings.
