The ICPD marked the beginning of the paradigm shift from the concept of Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning (MCH/FP) to Reproductive Health, later called Sexual and Reproductive Health. At this conference which was a followup of others held in Tehran, Mexico, Budapest the nations of the world reached an understanding on the key concepts of reproductive health and reproductive rights. All agreed that reproductive health is aright for all men, women and adolescents. The global community, at the ICPD, further agreed that reproductive health and rights are indispensable to people's health and development, and set the goal of achieving universal access to reproductive health information and services for the year 2015. "Reproductive Rights embrace certain human rights that are already recognized in national laws, international human rights documents and other consensus documents. These rights rest on the recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. It also includes their right to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence, as expressed inhuman rights documents. In the exercise of this right, they should take into account the needs of their living and future children and their responsibilities towards the community. "(Principle 7.3 of the ICPD PoA) All the above were reemphasized at other conferences such as that in Beijing and were moulded together as a development platform at the Millennium Summit. The last (Millennium Summit) led to the formulation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which all countries agreed to work towards achieving with eight goals and eighteen targets.
