The United Nations
Millennium Declaration, was adopted on 8 September 2000 by all 189 Member
States of the United Nations (147 of them represented directly by their head
of State or Government). This Declaration embodies a large number of
specific commitments aimed at improving the lot of humanity in the new
century. The Declaration is divided
into eight sections as listed in the slide. Sections 3 and 4 are highlighted
since these are the only sections within the Declaration from which the
Millennium Development goals have grown.
