The United Nations is the only global institution with human rights at its core. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) document is a milestone in UN history where freedom, equality and justice for all inspired more than seventy human rights treaties.

The United Nations Association of Saint Louis celebrates the UDHR’s 75th Anniversary as the theme for UN Day 2023. The UDHR serves as a constant reminder that human rights are universal, indivisible, and essential for a just and harmonious global community. It continues to inspire advocacy, promote accountability, and encourage the pursuit of a world where the rights and dignity of all individuals are upheld and protected.

Join UNA Saint Louis for an evening that will include a panel discussion on Equality, Freedom, and Justice for All, the annual Mary T. Hall Award ceremony and entertainment. Don't forget to bid on the silent action items!
