Human rights education within the normative frameworks of the United Nations

Abstract

This article focuses on human rights education policy and aims to analyze the international regulatory frameworks on human rights education and training, seeking to highlight how United Nations documents serve as a reference for developing a human rights education policy. A documentary analysis of the normative frameworks was carried out, which favored the understanding of the sources that established international regulatory frameworks aimed at promoting education in human rights. From the analysis, it was clear that there is a global human rights education policy systematized within the UN, which defines principles, objectives, actors and spaces for action. This global policy seeks to direct the content, principles and fields of action foreseen for human rights education.
