Theme for Human Rights Day: 10
December, 2007
Universality and Justice
On December 10, 2008, the world will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The commemorative year will kick off in exactly two months time, on December 10, 2007 -
Human Rights Day - and will extend through 2008.
The commemoration is intended to be as inclusive as possible, highlighting the role of people everywhere as the custodians and beneficiaries of the UDHR. The message is that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a living document that can continue to inform and inspire the struggle for rights and freedoms around the world if people reclaim it and make it their own. It is an articulation of two core principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Universality and Justice.
The overarching theme of Dignity and
Justice for All of Us will be used throughout the year, from 10 December
2007 to 10 December 2008.
