Programa mundial para la educación en derechos humanos
El 10 de diciembre de 2004, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas proclamó el Programa Mundial para la Educación en Derechos Humanos (2005 en adelante) para avanzar en la implementación de programas de educación en derechos humanos. El Programa Mundial fue establecido mediante la resolución 59/113 de la Asamblea General (10 de diciembre de 2004). Basándose en los logros de la Década de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación en Derechos Humanos (1995-2004), el Programa Mundial busca promover una comprensión común de los principios básicos y metodologías de la educación en derechos humanos, proporcionar un marco concreto para la acción y fortalecer las asociaciones y la cooperación desde el nivel internacional hasta las bases. A diferencia del marco temporal específico de la Década, el Programa Mundial está estructurado en fases consecutivas, para enfocar aún más los esfuerzos nacionales de educación en derechos humanos en temas específicos.

This is a collection of the official records of the Report of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination published annually by the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management.
