Currently Mobbers Ivana Savic and Joao Scarpelini are in Stockholm for the 40th anniversary of the first UN Environmental Conference (also known as the Stockholm+40).

The event was also an incredible opportunity for us to meet and engage with different youth leaders coming from different countries and organizations, and to strengthen the Major Group for Children & Youth.

Are you a youth activist or advocate?! Do you think young people should play a greater role in the UN system?! Do you have views on what should be the mandate of the UN SG Special Advisor on Youth issues?! So you got to stay tuned on the Youth 21 Initiative!!!
The UN-HABITAT Urban Youth Fund facebook page will be hosting all the information on the Youth 21 Initiative and will be filled with updates in the lead up to and during the Global Youth 21 – March Meeting in Nairobi (March 15 – 18).
Make sure you are connected with us to find out how you can be involved in this initiative to increase youth engagement in the UN and in democratic governance.
Today (10th of December) is the International Day of Universal Human Rights! A day which was created to celebrate our global community, our common rights regardless of where you were born. Above all, today is a day that was meant to celebrate our diversity, because we would rest assure that regardless of our differences we are all have fundamental rights that should be protected and respected.
Unfortunately that has not being the case yet…
Unfortunately very little people are aware of the The Universal Human Rights Declaration, and the rights agreed upon. Very little people realize, those rights were meant to be about themselves. They fail to realize the Declaration is talking about their rights.
And because of that, on a daily basis, we see or hear about upsetting violations of a series of those rights.. what are we waiting to challenge that?!
If no one takes action, the Universal Human Rights Declaration is nothing but a bunch of words in a paper… we, the people of the world are the ones to make the Declaration a living document, reflected in the way we live our daily lives.
Lets celebrate today’s International Day of Universal Human Rights by educating ourselves more! Learning where the declaration came from, and what are those universal rights we are all beneficiaries of.
Lets not take those rights for granted… and lets no longer accept that those rights are ignored or disrespected… it’s time for us to celebrate our International Day of Universal Human Rights making our commitments matter.
Happy International Day of Universal Human Rights!
