The Family in International Law and Social Science
On Monday, February 8, 2016 at 3:00 PM
C-Fam Side Event at CSocD54
The family is recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 16, as “the natural and fundamental group unit of society” and as “entitled to protection by society and the State.” This is the definitive reference for the family in international law and policy, recognizing it as the most important institution in society. All efforts to achieve development must necessarily emphasize the family because of its irreplaceable role as primary educator, economic driver, and social safety net.
