Explanation:
World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated on 15 March each year - the anniversary of the speech given in 1962 by US President John F. Kennedy in which he declared four basic consumer rights:
the right to safety
the right to be informed
the right to choose
the right to be heard.
Two decades later, in the 1980s, four more rights were added by the international coalition of consumer groups:
the right to satisfaction of basic needs
the right to redress
Since that time these eight rights have formed the basis for ongoing work by consumer groups throughout the world.
The rights can be described in the following terms:
The right to satisfaction of basic needs
The right to a healthy environment
The right to safety
The right to be heard
The right to be heard
The guidelines were first adopted by the General Assembly in resolution 39/248 of 16 April 1985 and were recently revised by the General Assembly in resolution 70/186 of 22 December 2015.
The UN promotes the guidelines and encourages interested member States to create awareness of the many ways in which member States, businesses and civil society can promote consumer protection in the provision of public and private goods and services.
