Report of the World Summit for Social Development, including Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action
Category: Development
At the World Summit for Social Development, held in March 1995 in Copenhagen, Governments reached a new consensus on the need to put people at the centre of development. The Social Summit was the largest gathering ever of world leaders at that time. It pledged to make the conquest of poverty, the goal of full employment and the fostering of social integration overriding objectives of development. At the end of the Summit, Governments adopted the Copenhagen Declaration, the Ten Commitments, and the Programme of Action of the World Social Summit. Five years on, they reconvened in Geneva in June 2000, to review what has been achieved, and to commit themselves to new initiatives. To access a copy of this report, please click here.
