2. International and European context
The reproductive and sexual health is of special interest to the European states and specifically to Eastern Europe. It is a priority field for the World Health Organization, which in 2001 developed the European Strategy on Sexual and Reproductive Health and called all the 51 member states of the European Council to formulate similar strategy papers, based on the national specific character. This priority is stipulated in the UN’s recommendations, as well as in the provisions of the international forums and conferences that took place in the past few years: The International Conference on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994); XXI session of UN General Assembly (New-York, 1999); European Population Forum (Geneva, 2004) and WHO Executive Board session (Geneva, May, 2004).
The present Strategy has been developed in strict agreement with the provisions of the WHO European Strategy for the Promotion of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, and the documents adopted through international consensus:
- Program of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Cairo+5 Action Plan;
- Millennium Development Goals;
- Global Strategy on Reproductive Health;
- UN Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS;
- Platform for Action of the World Conference for Women Beijing;
- Convention on Eliminating All Forms of Discrimination against Women;
- UN Declaration on Eliminating Violence against Women;
- UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
