The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has launched the Global Alliance for Human Rights (GAHR) as a long-term initiative leading to the 80th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 2028.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a landmark United Nations declaration adopted in 1948 that sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms of all people.
The alliance aims to place human rights at the centre of decision-making and promote accountable governments, inclusive societies and fair economies.
Its core principles are purpose-driven, inclusive, action-oriented, ecosystem-building and narrative-shifting approaches.
The initiative is guided by three principles: Imagine (envision a better future), Dialogue (promote inclusive discussions) and Act (translate commitments into action).
