“It is our duty to ensure that these rights are a living
reality -- that they are known, understood and enjoyed
by everyone, everywhere.
It is often those who most
need their human rights protected, who also need to
be informed that the Declaration exists -- and that it
exists for them.
” - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is not a luxury or a wish-list.
It’s core values, inherent human dignity, non-discrimination, equality, fairness
and universality, apply to everyone, everywhere, and always.
The Declaration
is universal, enduring and vibrant, and it concerns us all.
Since its adoption
in 1948, the Declaration has been and continues to be a source of inspiration
for national and international efforts to promote and protect human rights and
fundamental freedoms.
