The “New Humanity International Association” is a Non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1986, active in more than 100 countries worldwide. New Humanity aims to contribute to the creation of unity in the human family, fully respecting the individual identities of all of its members. For this reason, New Humanity advances the idea of a united world in all spheres of society and at all levels. It promotes the universal spirit of fraternity, as proclaimed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article n. 1), as a dynamic factor in social cohesion. New Humanity is built upon a solid foundation of volunteerism and active youth involvement. As a partner, it promotes and supports numerous cultural initiatives, social, projects and educational projects; carries out economic initiatives on both local and international scales; and acts as a voice to share experiences and best practices. New Humanity obtained Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Social and Economic Council (ECOSOC), and has held General Consultative Status since 2005. Under the UN system, it is a NGO partner of UNESCO, the UN Human Rights Council and FAO. New Humanity is also partner of the European Commission.
