Let’s start significance of Human Rights Day
Human Rights Day is celebrated annually world on 10 December. Human rights can empower individuals and communities to forge a better tommorow. By embracing and trusting the full power of human rights as the path of the world we want, we can become more peaceful, equal and sustainable.
The Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 and sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.
As a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, the UDHR is a global blueprint for international, national,and local laws and policies and a bedrock of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.
This Human Rights Day we focus on how human rights are a pathway to solutions, playing a critical role as a preventative, protective and transformative force for good.
This year’s theme is a call to acknowledge the importance and relevance of human rights in our everyday lives. We have an opportunity to change perceptions by speaking up against hate speech, correcting disinformation.
This day is normally marked both by high level political conferences and meetings and by cultural events and exhibitions dealing with human rights issues. Besides, it is traditionally on 10 December that the five yearly United Nations Prize in the field of Human Rights and Nobel Peace Prize are awarded. Many governmental and non governmental organizations active in the human rights field also schedule special events to commemorate the day, as do many civil and social cause organisations.
Human Rights Day is the day in 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Universal Declaration of Human rights sets out a broad range of fundamental rights and freedoms to which all of us are entitled. It guarantees the rights of every individual everywhere, without distinction based on nationality, place of residence, gender national or ethnic origin, religion, language, or any other status.
The High Commissioner for Human Rights, as the main United Nations rights official, and the office of the High Commissioner play a major role in coordinating efforts for the yearly observation of Human Rights Day.
