Our Common Future Online - almost all
It has been a while since I wrote anything on this or other blogs, and it has been several months since almost all the text of Our Common Future is now available online www.un-documents.net/wced-ocf.htm - converted from a scanned copy transmitted with General Assembly document A/42/427 - with hyperlinks to and frem related dopcuments at wwww.un-documents.net. A couple of the chapters were missing from the UN's pdf file, but the large bulk of this vital document, still as important reading as it was almost twenty tears ago, is now freely available online.

Dedication
Bismi-Llahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim
In the name of Allah,
Supremely Compassionate, Supremely Merciful
All Praise be to Allah,
the Sustainer and Cherisher of the Worlds
Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
Lord of the Day of Judgement
Thee alone do we worship;
Thine aid alone do we seek.
Reveal Your direct path
The path of those who surrender
to Your sublime Guidance,
Not of those who stray from the path;
Nor who are subjected to Your Wrath
Al-Fatiha - Opening verse of the Holy Qu'ran
