Mission and objectives

La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas ha confiado a UNICEF el mandato de promover la protección de los derechos del niño, de ayudar a satisfacer sus necesidades básicas y de aumentar las oportunidades que se les ofrecen para que alcancen plenamente sus potencialidades.

UNICEF se guía por lo dispuesto en la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño y se esfuerza por conseguir que esos derechos se conviertan en principios éticos perdurables y normas internacionales de conducta hacia los niños.

UNICEF reitera que la supervivencia, la protección y el desarrollo de los niños son imperativos de desarrollo de carácter universal y forman parte integrante del progreso de la humanidad.

UNICEF moviliza la voluntad política y los recursos materiales para ayudar a los países, en particular a los países en desarrollo, a garantizar que los niños tengan derechos prioritarios sobre los recursos, y a crear la capacidad de establecer políticas apropiadas y ofrecer servicios para los niños y sus familias.

UNICEF se empeña en garantizar que se dé protección especial a los niños más desfavorecidos: víctimas de guerra, desastres, extrema pobreza, todas las formas de violencia y explotación y los niños con discapacidades.

UNICEF responde en las emergencias protegiendo los derechos de los niños. En coordinación con los asociados de las Naciones Unidas y los organismos humanitarios, UNICEF pone a disposición de las entidades que colaboran con él sus servicios singulares de respuesta rápida para aliviar el sufrimiento de los niños y de las personas responsables de su cuidado.

UNICEF no es una organización partidista y su cooperación no es discriminatoria; en todo lo que hace, tienen prioridad los niños más desfavorecidos y los países más necesitados.

UNICEF, por medio de sus programas por países, tiene el objetivo de promover la igualdad de derechos de la mujer y de las niñas y de apoyar su plena participación en el desarrollo político, social y económico de sus comunidades.
