70th anniversary of the United Nations
The United Nations Library to commemorate the 70th anniversary has produced a website
70 years, 70 documents
presenting an exploration of the seventy key documents that have shaped the United Nations and our world.
I recently put together a display in the National Library of Scotland demonstrating the range and depth of the library's Official Publications collection. I chose to do this by selecting one year, in this case 1948. UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948 in Paris and I chose to include this in the display. It also appears in the UN's 70 years, 70 documents as the key document for that year.
