"The Human Development Report 2005 spells out much of what is at stake in the negotiations on the draft outcome document for next week's World Summit . . . This Report shows that, with boldness and vision from all, 2005 can be the year in which the international community sets out, with the determination and resources necessary, to free millions from poverty, save millions of lives, and build a world that is freer, fairer and safer for all its inhabitants. I urge Member State to heed this timely message, and to use next week's Summit to launch us on a global effort to make this vision a reality. And I commend the ideas and analysis in this report to all citizens, civic organizations, Governments, parliaments and international bodies who are working to achieve the Millennium Development Goals." - Secretary-General Kofi Annan (09/07/2005)
