commemorates the historic declaration on March 15,1962 by John F．Kennedy,the former US President,
of the basic Rights of consumers,which include: "the right to safety","the right to be informed","the right to
choose",and "the right to be heard"．

important occasion for mobilizing citizen action,with recognition of consumer rights taking off around the
world.On April 9,1985,the United Nations Assembly General Assembly adopted the UN Guidelines for
Consumer Protection that provide a framework for strengthening national consumer protection policies
around the world.

satisfaction of basic needs；the right to redress (赔偿)；the right to education；and the right to a healthy
environment.Currently,the fundamental consumer rights are recognized globally.
[4]World Consumer Rights Day normally has a theme associated with an activity or development that is
relevant to consumers. Whatever their objectives, they share the same underlying aim of bringing about
important and needed benefits for consumers.

developing countries.At least,March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction.
