Happy birthday to human rights!

 

This Wednesday marks 60 years since the world's governments adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UDHR sets out the rights and freedoms that everyone, everywhere, is entitled to.

This is a time to celebrate and a time to challenge governments who have not lived up to the promises they made in 1948.

For more information on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights we've popped a couple of links to some fantastic video's below.
