Abstract

English

The Copenhagen World Summit for Social Development established detailed commitments to facilitate social development. In 2000 these commitments were replaced by random and minimalist targets that became known as the Millennium Development Goals. Leading acade mics, policy-makers and the International Council on Social Welfare are seeking to re-establish the commitments made in Copenhagen.

Des universitaires importants, des décideurs politiques et le Conseil International de la Protection sociale cherchent à rétablir les engagements pris à Copenhague.
