About the event
Human Rights Day, observed on December 10, is the anniversary of the day in 1948 when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is one of the most translated documents in the world and is available in over 500 languages. It has inspired countries and people alike to start treating every person with the right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Human Rights aims to establish a common standard of living for all people across the planet that everyone is entitled to, and to, in turn, encourage all UN member states to strive towards the said standard of living for the people in their nation. Hence, on Human Rights Day we acknowledge the importance of this document and the importance of human rights. Click HERE to view the resources developed by National Today.
