"The purpose of this article is to review statements of the original authors of [The Family: A Proclamation to the World] regarding these world conferences of the United Nations (UN) and determine what they saw, as divinely prepared and called prophets and seers, that influenced the origin and inception of the proclamation. Important contextual details regarding these world conferences will be presented, including the conceptual view of the family as 'the natural and fundamental group unit of society' that was established at the creation of the United Nations in its founding document, the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Additional details will demonstrate how nearly fifty years later, as part of the 1994 International year of the Family, world conferences of the UN would be the stage for a rapidly growing and influential antifamily movement dismissing the family's role as the fundamental unit of society."
