Population

In 2003, the world’s population reached 6.3 billion. The population activities of the United continued to be guided by the Programme of Action adopted at the 1994 International Conference on population and Development (ICPD) and the key actions for its further implementation adopted at the twenty-first special session of the General Assembly in 1999. In December, the Assembly decided to devote one day during its fiftyninth (2004) session to the commemoration of ICPD’S tenth anniversary. It also decided to devote a high-level dialogue to international migration and development in 2006.
