United Nations Millennium Forum

In seeking to contribute to the Millennium Assembly and the Millennium Summit of the United Nations, civil society organizations organized and held the United Nations Millennium Forum on 22–26 May 2000 at United Nations Headquarters in New York.

The Millennium Forum, at which the Secretary-General delivered the keynote address, adopted on 26 May 2000 the Millennium Forum Declaration and Agenda for Action. The Forum's final outcome has been issued as an official document of the General Assembly (A/54/959). Moreover, the General Assembly decided that a representative of the Millennium Forum may be included in the list of speakers for the plenary meetings of the Millennium Summit of the United Nations (resolution 54/281).

    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    At the end of one millennium and nine centuries of Christianity, it remains an unshakable assumption of the law in all Christian countries and of the moral judgment of Christians everywhere that if a man and a woman, entering a room together, close the door behind them, the man will come out sadder and the woman wiser.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    If I should ever decide in the future to discuss my deep Christian beliefs and condemnation and sinfulness, I would use another forum besides Playboy.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
