63. In the Millennium Declaration, world leaders resolved “to create an environment—at the national and global levels alike—which is conducive to development and to the elimination of poverty.” Towards this end, they committed to “an open, equitable, rulebased, predictable and non-discriminatory multilateral trading and financial system.” Subsequent UN conferences in Monterrey, Johannesburg and São Paulo have emphasized the link between trade and development. By one estimate, the successful conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda could bring 144 million people out of poverty by 2015, significantly contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.(14) The Bretton Woods institutions and all other UN agencies engaged in development are working closely with the World Trade Organization to help deliver on the promise of Doha.
