UN Human Rights has teamed up with The Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation to create a version of the Universal Declaration featuring illustration from The Little Prince. The partnership is to celebrate their dual anniversaries, as not only is it 75 years since the ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but it is also 80 years since the first publication of Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). The book and the UDHR have much in common: both are highly translated – with the Little Prince being translated into more than 550 languages and dialects while the UDHR’s translations reach more than 555.  Both were born of a time of great global turmoil. And both impart messages of hope and dignity that are available for all. Above is an illustration of Article 20 of the Universal Declaration as interpreted by an illustration from the Little Prince.
