How does the Constitution affect the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)?
Article III-316 paragraph 2 says: “The Union and the Member States shall comply with the commitments and take account of the objectives they have approved in the context of the United Nations and other competent international organizations”. This refers, among others, to the Millennium Development Goals. The Union’s primary objective to reduce and eradicate the poverty is in line with the MDGs.
