Today is the 60^th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights, the UN created touchstone of human morality. Its widespread adoption is testament to the success of the document that underpins most international laws.  It represents a highlight of international co-operation that has not been matched in all the years since.

The Declaration demonstrates what the UN is capable of when it simplifies its work. The Influx Project recognises that simplification is particularly important for encouraging the public to support the UN’s efforts as too often its work is inaccessible. Public support is crucial to the UN’s success and therefore we hope that simplicity will become a recognised UN goal.
