This partial and preliminary resource document has been produced by UNESCO as a contribution to the United Nations Year for Tolerance, 1995, and to the launching of the proposed United Nations decade for human rights education.
This book was written with several groups in mind. It is primarily for UNHCR's staff, but it is also for the staff of its operational partners, whether they be voluntary organizations, UN agencies or Governments.
The purpose of this document is two-fold: to set out the key principles governing the education of children and young people with disabilities, and to provide a structure for reviewing the provision that is made.
This volume contains the text of the two documents adopted by the World Conference on Education for All (Jomtien, Thailand, 5-9 March 1990), convened jointly by the executive heads of UNICEF, UNDP, UNESCO, and the World Bank.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (commonly abbreviated as the CRC or UNCRC) is a human rights treaty which sets out the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children.
The American Convention on Human Rights articulates the agreed upon human rights of the nations of the Americas. In addition it established the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights which were created to ensure that the nations are upholding the human rights articulated in the Convention.
The Book of Needs Volume I (1947) is UNESCO's first account of post-war educational and cultural losses and needs in 15 countries affected by World War II.
