| Resumen: |
At the threshold of this new century, the international community gave renewed consideration to
the development agenda from a comprehensive perspective; and in September 2000, 147 heads of
State and Government and 189 United Nations Member States signed a new global pact for
development, whose political expression was the Millennium Declaration. The Declaration laid
the foundations for a development agenda based on values that profoundly redefine international
relations for the twenty-first century: freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature
and shared but differentiated responsibilities. |
