Human rights and the Millennium Development Goals: contradictory frameworks?

10 January 2005 13:00-14:15 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • This session considered the extent to which the Millennium Development Goals and human rights are compatible frameworks, where they differ and where they complement one another. It debates the usefulness of explicitly adopting a human rights perspective to achieve poverty reduction objectives, and the dangers of diluting the MDGs by 'adding' new considerations.
