Report published by the South Centre, institution with member nations from the South on the occation of the 2nd South Summit ending in Doha in June 16, 2005.
The Report asserts that "in economic and social spheres, the Millennium Development Goals now serve as a common policy framework for the entire UN system, and indeed for the broader international development community". The MDGs have had the effect of diluting the international development agenda and marginalizing the earlier development consensus and the North-South dialogue based thereon and, the concern with global macroeconomic issues and the globalization process which however, continue to be at the core of developing countries’ demands and concerns.

"What UN for the 21st Century? A New North-South Divide" was published in June 2005 by the South Centre.
