2008 is a landmark year in the global campaign to make human rights a reality for all people… it marks 60 years since the birth of its most important document.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) -- which confirms the acceptance of 30 rights - was adopted by UN member states on 10 December 1948. It began as an initiative of governments, but today it is the common goal of people everywhere.
In the run-up to the 60th anniversary, Amnesty International will organize a series of activities that celebrate the UDHR - and focus on what must be done to make that promise of universal, indivisible human rights a reality.
Every single person has rights - that is the essence of our humanity. Each of us has the duty to stand up, not just for our own rights, but also for those of others.
- We believe human rights abuses anywhere are the concern of people everywhere.
- We pledge to harness the power of individuals to galvanize action for justice and equality.
- We are outraged at our leaders' betrayal and are determined to hold them to account.
- We are committed to creating a world in which every person can realize their human rights.
- We will carry the UDHR message of hope to every region of the world in its 60th anniversary year.
