The Plan of Action for the first phase (2005-2007) of the World Programme was adopted by all United Nations Member States in July 2005. It proposes a concrete strategy and practical guidance for implementing human rights education in primary and secondary schools.
This document is now in your hands. We hope it will provide ideas for developing new initiatives, expanding those already existing and enhancing cooperation and partnership at all levels.
We would like to appeal to all to get involved and participate in global human rights education efforts; the realization of human rights is our common responsibility, and its achievement will depend entirely on the contribution that each and every one of us is willing to make.
