United Nations

As we know from previously discoveries Eleanor was the First Lady that was the most active in office and the longest serving. But, after her husband came out of office Eleanor didn’t stop working. She was one of the founders of one of the world’s biggest organizations and that’s the United Nations. The U.N is where all the countries, continents, and all those politicians meet and discuss the worlds concerns and issues. “She served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under both the Truman and Kennedy administrations. She also served as head of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, helping to draft the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” As quoted in the passage you can see that Eleanor was the perfect candidate to be the leader for them. Eleanor wanted a place where all the leaders can discuss their issues with each other without necessarily going to war. They had three main goals in mind and they were:
*To foster a wider appreciation of and commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through education and a media campaign;
*To further codify the protection of international human rights through the development and ratification of legal instruments, including the Convention on Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child; and
*To promote more effective international institutions for the protection of basic human rights and freedoms by advocating the establishment of a permanent International Criminal Court and the strengthening of the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The U.N’s success continues to go on till today will continue to go on till the end of time.
