In 1946, the United Nations General Assembly approved resolution 57(I) to establish UNICEF and provide relief to children after the Second World War. Originally named the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, UNICEF was a temporary relief fund of the UN. During the General Assembly of the United Nations, in October 1953, UNICEF's mandate to assist vulnerable children was extended indefinitely. In 1959, the United Nations adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which outlines children's rights to protection, education, healthcare, shelter, and nutritional needs.
