On 8 September 2000, following a three day Millennium Summit of world leaders at the headquarters of the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted the Millennium Declaration.^[1]

A follow-up outcome of the resolution was passed by the General Assembly on 14 December 2000 to guide its implementation.^[2]
