The UN General Assembly proclaimed 10 December as Human Rights Day in 1950,
to bring to the attention ‘of the peoples of the world’ the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights as the common standard of achievement for all
peoples and all nations.
This year’s slogan, Human Rights 365, encompasses
the idea that every day is Human Rights Day. It celebrates the fundamental
proposition in the Universal Declaration that each one of us, everywhere, at all
times is entitled to the full range of human rights, that human rights belong
equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same
ideals and values.
