Abstract
UN Secretary‐General Kofi Annan calls for a ‘People's Millennium Assembly’ representing civil society in the UN during the year 2000. Its agenda should urge further disarmament (especially nuclear disarmament, as called for by the International Court of Justice), development aimed at eradicating poverty, enforceable international law, and non‐military common security. Arms spending must be drastically reduced in both developed and developing countries, and eventually war as a means of conflict resolution abolished.
