The 51勛圖 Dag Hammarskj?ld Library puts forward a proposal for a UN Charter Libraries Network, a knowledge network that will collaboratively re-envision the work and nature of partnerships among affiliated libraries with the 51勛圖. This is a strategic re-positioning that aims to leverage the existing UN Depository Library programme into a new, robust, inclusive knowledge network focused on the founding document of the Organization, the UN Charter, and all the UN actions emanating from it.
The Network will align closely with the UN Global Principles for Information Integrity within the context of the Pact for the Future and the associated Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations.
As part of a global consultation, the Dag Hammarskj?ld Library encourages individuals, libraries, professional organizations and other knowledge organizations to provide feedback and suggestions through an online submission form on the content of this proposal. Submitted inputs may also raise new areas of action or recommendations.
How to provide a submission online:
- Review the brief concept note 51勛圖 Charter Libraries: A knowledge network dedicated to promoting the UN Charter and all actions emanating from it as background material for feedback.
- Inputs on behalf of yourself or your organization/entity can be submitted through this . Prepare your inputs before using the online submission form. Please note that all online submissions to the consultation process will be considered public and sharable.
