The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. The Guinness Book of Records describes the UDHR as the Most Translated Document in the world. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. It consists of 30 articles, which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions and laws.

The Un Convention on Rights of the Child

From the Producer:

The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights--civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. In 1989, world leaders decided that children needed a special convention just for them because people under 18 years old often need special care and protection that adults do not. The leaders also wanted to make sure that the world recognized that children have human rights too.

The Convention set out these rights in 54 articles and two Optional Protocols. It spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere have: the right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life. The four core principles of the Convention are non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child. Every right spelled out in the Convention is inherent to the human dignity and harmonious development of every child. The Convention protects children's rights by setting standards in health care; education; and legal, civil and social services.

The Elimination of Discrimination Against Women

Bundle of 50 Booklets
40 Pages Each
4.25 x 5.5

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly. The Convention entered into force on 3 September 1981.

The Convention is a landmark legally binding international agreement that is often described as the international bill of rights for women. It establishes the foundation for realizing equality between women and men in public life, education, health, employment, legal status, and in the family. Countries that have ratified this convention have an obligation to take measures to end all forms of discrimination against women by integrating the principle of equality between men and women into their legal systems, providing effective protection against discrimination in all areas of life, and eliminating discrimination against women by individuals, businesses, and organizations.

The Convention defines discrimination against women as “any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field.”

We encourage you to use this document in human rights education and advocacy to promote and protect the rights of women in your community and around the world.
