To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, the Dag Hammarskjöld Library is presenting an exploration of 80 key documents that have shaped the United Nations and our world. The selected documents represent watershed moments in the UN's history, from the groundbreaking 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which established fundamental protections for all people, to the transformative 2015 Paris Agreement that created our framework for global climate action and the 2024 Pact for the Future.
