Led by Carlos Zapata Cardenas, this session will provide participants with insights on how to effectively use the UDA as a tool in advocacy campaigns worldwide. Originally developed and adopted by ICA in 2010, and endorsed by UNESCO in 2011, the UDA is a cornerstone of ICA’s outreach and advocacy strategy. The Declaration underscores the critical role of archives in safeguarding human rights, establishing collective social memory, and promoting accountable and transparent governance. It also highlights the essential elements of good archival management and the importance of professional archivists.
