The Millbrook Commonwealth Action Programme on the Harare Declaration, sometimes abbreviated to just Millbrook, is a policy programme of the Commonwealth of Nations, designed to implement and uphold the Harare Declaration, which sets out the basic political membership criteria of the Commonwealth. The programme was agreed and announced on 12 November 1995 at Millbrook Resort, near Queenstown, New Zealand, at the conclusion of the fourteenth Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.[1]

Millbrook introduces compulsory adherence to the Harare principles, and, in enforcing them, includes aspects of both

unconstitutional coup d'état against a democratically elected government as a particularly serious violation.[1]

To help monitor and enforce adherence to the Harare Declaration, Millbrook established the

Foreign Minister (or equivalent) of eight members, the composition, terms of reference, and operative functions of CMAG are reviewed every two years under the programme.[1]
