Extreme inequality and human rights 2015, para. 49

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Having taken the principled position that there must be limits to inequality, States should then formally commit themselves to policies explicitly designed to reduce, if not eliminate, extreme inequality. Political recognition of the challenge and the holding of a meaningful and sustained public debate on the most appropriate measures to be taken is the starting point for genuine efforts to reduce extreme inequality.
