Human Rights Day is observed by the international community every year on 10th of December. The day was founded by the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by United Nations General Assembly in 1948 in the Palace Shayo in Paris. The Declaration consists of 30 articles; it’s the part of the International Bill of Human Rights on the same level with the International Pact of economic, social and cultural rights, the International Pact of civil and political rights, two Optional Certificates. A milestone document that proclaimed the inalienable rights which everyone is inherently entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, colour, religion, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
After the adoption of this declaration community stand up for equality, justice and human dignity. It is the most translated document in the world, available in more than 500 languages.
And it was drafted by representatives of diverse legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration sets out universal values and a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. It establishes the equal dignity and worth of every person.
The emblem of the United Nations expressed the main ideas of this international organization very exactly. The olive branches are considered to be the symbol of peace and the symbolic picture of the planet reflects the spheres of the UN’s interests.
In 1950 the United Nations set up a holiday – the day of Human Rights in honor of the Declaration which is celebrated in December 10th.
Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals
Human rights are at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as in the absence of human dignity we cannot drive sustainable development. Human Rights are driven by progress on all SDGs, and the SDGs are driven by advancements on human rights.
This year, Human Rights Day marks the 72nd years of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
