International Governance
The charter commits AFADU INGO signatories to meeting best-practice standards on public accountability and transparency, including in good governance and effective management; ethical fundraising and multi-stakeholder engagement, and the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 General Assembly resolution 217 A as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations.
It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.
