We are the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the organization of the United Nations system that has the mandate to guarantee the fulfillment of the rights of children and adolescents worldwide.

These rights are established in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which, since its adoption by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989, has become the most widely ratified international treaty among the world's countries. Its principles guide our action worldwide.

We take advantage of our experience around the world to overcome the problems faced by children and adolescents and those who care for them.

Throughout our history, we have acquired a deep understanding of what development is and the importance of childhood for progress.

All our actions contribute to children developing their full potential.
