In larger freedom: towards development, security and human rights for all - Report of the Secretary-General

Events since the Millennium Declaration demand that consensus be revitalized on key challenges and priorities and converted into collective action. The Secretary-General's report proposes an agenda to be taken up, and acted upon, by all Member States.

The report consists of 4 parts:

1. Freedom of want - Make the right to development a reality for everyone and free the entire human race from want.

2. Freedom from fear - Embrace a broad vision of collective security, not just international war and conflict but also poverty, deadly infectious disease and environmental degradation.

3. Freedom to live in dignity - Promote democaracy and strengthen the rule of law as well as respect for all internationlly recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms

4. Strengthening the United Nations - The UN must be fully adapted to the needs and circumstances of the 21st century to respond to the challenges laid out in the previous three parts.
