In 1999 the United Nations General Assembly held a special follow-up session to the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). The General Assembly adopted a comprehensive text of key actions for the further implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action. Among other recommendations, the text calls for strong measures to promote the human rights of women, to strengthen the reproductive and sexual health, and to increase the reproductive rights focus in population and development policies and programmes.
