Human Rights Day: Freedom, Equality and Justice for All
Today marks the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. It also focuses also on vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and migrants.
The Universal Declaration is a roadmap, helping to end wars, heal divisions and promote lives of peace and dignity for all.
