Universal Children's Day (20 November 2006)
20 November is celebrated as the international day for children. The United
Nations General Assembly recommended in 1954 (resolution 836 (IX)) that all
countries institute a Universal Children's Day, to be observed as a day of
worldwide fraternity and understanding between children and of activity
promoting the welfare of the world's children. The date of 20 November marks the
day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in
1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in 1989.
