This article is designed to look, in particular, at Article 26 of the UDHR -which focuses on the right to education-by tracing its origins and uses via biographical methodologies.
For example, in the 1990s alone, the UDHR served as the cornerstone document for the World Conference on Education for All, held in Jomtien, Thailand (1990) the World Summit for Children (1990) the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Rio, 1992) the World Conference on Human Rights (1993) the International Conference on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994) the World Summit for Social Development (Copenhagen, 1995) the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995) and the formation of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW ). The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is arguably the international project of the twentieth century.2 It spawned many significant forums, conferences, and policy directives that continue to guide the international community’s conscience and actions with regard to women and the girl-child.
