The UN spokesperson doesnt even seem to know that Agenda 21 is not a treaty, but is an agreement. Further information obtained from the UN indicated that no one actually signed it, and the agreement was made via consensus. Rosa, Unfortunately, the countries that signed the treaty was the extent of what I was able to find. All the Best, Anthony Ramirez United Nations Information Center [email protected]
