United Nations Millennium Declaration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 8 September 2000, following a three day Millennium Summit of world leaders at the headquarters of the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted the Millennium Declaration.[1]
A follow-up outcome of the resolution was passed by the General Assembly on 14 December 2000 to guide its implementation.[2]
Progress on implementation of the Declaration was reviewed at the 2005 World Summit of leaders.
[edit] Chapters
The Millennium Declaration has eight chapters and key objectives, adopted by 189 world leaders during the summit:[1]
- Values and Principles
- Peace, Security and Disarmament
- Development and Poverty Eradication
- Protecting our Common Environment
- Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance
- Protecting the Vulnerable
- Meeting the Special Needs of Africa
- Strengthening the United Nations
These eight goals should all be achieved by the year 2015.
