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.
Report of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by its States parties. Racial discrimination remains a barrier to the full realization of human rights. Despite progress in some areas, exclusions and restrictions based on race, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin continue to cause conflict, suffering and loss of life. CERD works to take action against the injustice of racial discrimination, and the dangers it represents. 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.

Statistical papers - United Nations (Ser. A), Population and vital statistics report
The Population and Vital Statistics Report series presents data for countries or areas on population size (total, male, and female) from the latest available census, estimated total population size for the later available year, and the number and rate of vital events (live births, deaths, and infant deaths) for the latest available year within the past 15 years.

On 10 December 2004, the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed the World Programme for Human Rights Education (2005-ongoing) to advance the implementation of human rights education programmes. The World Programme was established by the General Assembly’s resolution 59/113 (10 December 2004). Building on the achievements of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004), the World Programme seeks to promote a common understanding of basic principles and methodologies of human rights education, to provide a concrete framework for action and to strengthen partnerships and cooperation from the international level down to the grass roots. Unlike the specific time frame of the Decade, the World Programme is structured in consecutive phases, to further focus national human rights education efforts on specific issues.
