The Millennium Development goals summarize the development goals agreed on at international conferences and world summits during the 1990s. at the end of the last century, world leaders distilled the key goals and targets in the Millennium Declaration (September 2000). The Declaration reaffirms universal values of human rights, equality, mutual respect and shared responsibility for the conditions of all people and seeks to redress globalization’s hugely unequal benefits and governments’ commit themselves to fulfilling their obligations by 2015.

The Millennium Declaration sighed by 147 Heads of State and Government has helped to place a renewed focus on indigenous people’s in the international development debate and the UN Permanent forum on Indigenous Issues has strategically decided to choose Indigenous peoples and the Millennium development Goals (MDGs) as the theme of the forum 2005.
