Working Together to Promote Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance
Document Actions
90. The Millennium Declaration commits the nations of the world "to promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law, as well as respect for all internationally recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right to development." In it, world leaders resolve "to strengthen the capacity of all our countries to implement the principles and practices of democracy and respect for human rights." They also commit "to work collectively for more inclusive political processes, allowing genuine participation by all citizens in all our countries" and "to ensure the freedom of the media to perform their essential role and the right of the public to have access to information." These closely interconnected commitments have required integrated approaches and actions by all parties and challenged the UN system to set the pace. This chapter covers the system's work underway in terms of three interlocked and mutually reinforcing objectives: advancing human rights, promoting democracy and strengthening good governance.
