    • Abstract:
      This article reflects on Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Baldwin Spencer's reaction to the United Nations' (UN) World Summit and the Millennium Development Goals. Prime Minister Spencer said that the laudable objectives highlighted have not yet been accomplished. Among the eight articulated goals of the Millennium plan is the halving of extreme global poverty, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS, and providing universal primary education by the year 2015. The Prime Minister continued that the Summit was significant because it allowed them an opportunity to look at the successes and failures of the process, and to determine how they are going to go forward. He also commented on the general reforms of the UN proposed at the Summit.
