The Spanish Prime Minister also called for the Millenium Objective goals to
be met.
Speaking to the United Nations in New York yesterday, the Spanish Prime
Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has called for a universal
moratorium on the death penalty in 2015 as a first step towards its complete
abolition.
This was Zapatero's second statement to the United Nations, the first was in
2004, and he spent most of his time urging the international community to
comply with the Millennium Development Objectives, which has the target of
reducing extreme poverty and hunger by 2015.
Zapatero also told the chamber that it was urgent to construct a 'new world
financial order' and defended the use of public spending to rationalise the
markets.
He called for sustainable development and permanent political dialogue in
the future and not 'new cold wars'.
