Highness Prince Hassan, Crown Prince of Jordan, has for the past three years personally supervised and participated in the educational reform programme, which broadly aims at enabling future generations to cope with the challenges and requirements of the modern age. The programme also seeks to promote a more intimate understanding of general knowledge and technical skills for those who will RM/21 A/S-18/PV. 4 99-100 (Mr. Salah, Jordan) enter the labour market in Jordan and abroad, and to increase their technical capabilities and productivity. Because many countries devote vast resources to the development of their human resources, which serve to benefit labour-importing countries, equitable conditions must be laid down for the exchange of those resources. we believe that labour-exporting countries should be fairly compensated for the great investment they make in the development of their human resources. A comprehensive approach to development invariably takes on an environmental dimension. It is a source of satisfaction to us that throughout the world there is increasing interest in the environment, and that new bodies are emerging with the aim of promoting its preservation. There is a growing awareness of our collective responsibility to ensure that future generations on this planet will not inherit an environment that has been abused. BCT/ASW A/S-18/PV. 4 101 (Mr. Salah; Jordan) It is a coincidence that a few days aqo we celebrated Earth Day. Needless to say, we are all required, in particular those countries Whose activities have the most adverse impact on the environment, to make serious and constant efforts to safeguard the environment on our Planet and in outer space. We must warn that our development endeavours should not have adverse repercussions on the environment or lead to its destruction: that could make our planet uninhabitable and, thus, mean the annihilation of mankind.
