		Many actors are now counting on the Goals, commonly referred to as the "MDGs," to galvanize disparate and sometimes competing development agendas, as the Goals are becoming a powerful political tool to hold governments and international institutions accountable.

	Monthly Review March 2006 Samir Amin ¦ The Millennium Development Goals
		Samir Amin’s systematic and revealing critique of the Millennium Development Goals is therefore of the utmost significance.
		Besides, the MDGs cannot truly be taken seriously by their promoters in the imperialist triad, which implements them only when it is convenient and ignores them otherwise, nor by states in the South that, not wanting to take any risks at the present time, refrain from formally rejecting the proposals.
		The MDGs are part of a series of discourses that are intended to legitimize the policies and practices implemented by dominant capital and those who support it, i.e., in the first place the governments of the triad countries, and secondarily governments in the South.
