DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/56/4)\n\n\n\n	Though humanity has always counted i
	ts war casualties in terms of dead and wounded soldiers and civilians\, de
	stroyed cities and livelihoods\, the environment has often remained the un
	publicized victim of war. Water wells have been polluted\, crops torched\,
	 forests cut down\, soils poisoned\, and animals killed to gain military a
	dvantage.\n\n\n\n	Furthermore\, the United Nations Environment Programme (
	UNEP) has found that over the last 60 years\, at least 40 percent of all i
	nternal conflicts have been linked to the exploitation of natural resource
	s\, whether high-value resources such as timber\, diamonds\, gold and oil\
	, or scarce resources such as fertile land and water. Conflicts involving 
	natural resources have also been found to be twice as likely to relapse.\n
	\n\n\n	The United Nations attaches great importance to ensuring that actio
	n on the environment is part of conflict prevention\, peacekeeping and pea
	cebuilding strategies\, because there can be no durable peace if the natur
	al resources that sustain livelihoods and ecosystems are destroyed. \n\n\
	n\n	On 5 November 2001\, the UN General Assembly declared 6 November of ea
	ch year as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the En
	vironment in War and Armed Conflict (A/RES/56/4).\n\n\n\n	On 27 May 2016\,
	 the United Nations Environment Assembly adopted resolution UNEP/EA.2/Res.
	15\, which recognized the role of healthy ecosystems and sustainably manag
	ed resources in reducing the risk of armed conflict\, and reaffirmed its s
	trong commitment to the full implementation of the Sustainable Development
	 Goals listed in General Assembly resolution 70/1\, entitled “Transformi
	ng our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.\n\n
