On strengthening Peace, Development and Human Rights.
Only through broad and sustained efforts to create a shared future, based upon our common humanity in all its diversity, can globalization be made fully inclusive and equitable, world leaders stated this afternoon as they unanimously adopted a United Nations Millennium Declaration tit the conclusion of their Millennium Summit.
The main document to come out of the largest-ever gathering of world leaders, which began on 6 September in New York, the Declaration contains a statement of values, principles and objectives for the international agenda for the twenty-first century. It also sets deadlines for many collective actions.
In an address delivered at the concluding meeting of the Conference, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan told the Summit that it had sketched out clear directions for adapting the Organization to its role in the new century. It lies in your power, and therefore is your responsibility, to reach the goals that you have defined, he declared. Only you can determine whether the United Nations rises to the challenge. For my part, I hereby re-dedicate myself, as from today, to carrying out your mandate. [... ]
Citing freedom, equality of individuals and nations, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature and shared responsibility as six values fundamental to international relations for the twenty-first century, the Summit Declaration also identifies concrete objectives under broad headings that participants believe would lead to the desired outcomes.
