Universal Children's Day is celebrated on November 20.Reuters
The United Nations every year observes Universal Children's Day on November 20. The annual event to promote the welfare of children all over the globe started in 1954 after the UN General Assembly suggested all countries to organise it for children.
November 20 also marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
"This year, I wish to emphasise the importance of ensuring that the commitments made by the international community to the world's children are extended to a group of children who are often forgotten or overlooked: those deprived of their liberty," said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
