Today is Human Rights Day. This day commemorates the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948. Did you know the UDHR is the most translated document in the world, being available in 577 languages?
This year’s theme is “Human Rights: Our Everyday Essentials.” As the UN aptly states, “In this period of turbulence and unpredictability, where many feel a growing sense of insecurity, disaffection and alienation, the theme of Human Rights Day is to reaffirm the values of human rights and show that they remain a winning proposition for humanity.”
