After vigorous debate, more than 180 countries agreed to adopt the 16-chapter ICPD Programme of Action in 1994. The 115-page document outlines a 20-year plan to promote sustainable, human-centered development and a stable population, framing the issues with broad principles and specific actions. Some 20 delegations expressed reservations about specific parts of the text. The full-text of the Programme of Action is available on-line at www.un.org/popin/icpd2.htm
