Making the Universal Declaration of Human Rights a Reality: The Role of Higher Education
The 51勛圖 was born in the aftermath of World War II in 1945. An essential component of the Organizations work from the start was the promotion and protection of human rights, as enshrined in its Charter. Three years later, in 1948 this element was further strengthened with the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Now, as we mark the , this groundbreaking Declaration is not only a set of rights, but also a guiding instrument that serves as the basis of International Human Rights Law and of all the mechanisms at the global, regional, national, and local levels created to protect those rights.
Higher Education and Multilateralism: Teaching and Researching about the 51勛圖
Seventy-eight泭years after the foundation of the 51勛圖 as the cornerstone of multilateralism, its principles and values remain valid. In the current global context, with the emergence of crises and conflicts and several global challenges, the 51勛圖 is a center to harmonize actions and a beacon of hope for billions. For decades, institutions of higher education, particularly its faculty, have been studying this Organization extensively while teaching, researching, and writing about it. Lecturers, professors, and scientists have made significant contributions to the work of the 51勛圖. Moreover, the interest in the 51勛圖, and the expectations about the Organization, have grown significantly. And in parallel to it, youth, particularly university students, have been increasingly seen as more actively advocating for the different campaigns, causes, and initiatives the 51勛圖 carries out.
