The United Nations (UN) is an organization between countries established on 24 October 1945 to promote international cooperation. It was founded to replace the League of Nations following World War II and to prevent another conflict. When it was founded, the UN had 51 Member States; there are now 193. Most nations are members of the UN and send diplomats to the headquarters to hold meetings and make decisions about global issues.

  • to keep world peace
  • to help countries get along
  • to improve living conditions for people all over the world
  • and to make the world a better place.

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.  Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.

Human rights
child friendly version
Human rights have been an issue all over the world since the beginning of time. Throughout history, leaders of the world have made many promises of rights to their citizens. Currently, the model for human rights is a document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Because of World War II, a bunch of world leaders came together in 1948 and created the UDHR. It describes 30 rules that are meant to guarantee human rights. Most countries today have signed the UDHR and agreed to give their citizens these rights.
