Our Common Humanity in the Information Age
Principles and Values for Development

New York, 29 November 2006

In September 2000, the heads of the Member States of the United Nations gathered in New York for a historic meeting. Unanimously, they signed on to a document called The Millennium Declaration, which outlined a common set of values and principles, including solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature and shared responsibility. In the context of these fundamental values essential to international relations in the twenty-first century, the Declaration called for "broad and sustained efforts to create a shared future, based upon our common humanity in all its diversity". The Millennium Declaration was also the source document for the Millennium Development Goals, eight benchmarks aimed at halving global poverty by 2015.
