Abstract
Arising from a need to create and communicate a common mission for official statistics in a period of radical change in the UNECE region and the world, the Fundamental Principles continue to represent the best of international cooperation 30 years on. This paper was prepared as part of a UNECE-coordinated effort to mark the 30th anniversary of the development and adoption of the Principles in the UNECE region. Beginning with an exploration of how and why the Principles were created in the region, the roles they played and the reasons that they came to be adopted as a global standard, we proceed to offer simple explanations in everyday language to help those outside the field of official statistics to understand what each Principle means and why it matters. We conclude with reflections on the changing role and continued importance of the Principles for the future.
