You must be the change you want to see in

the world.
-Mahatma Gandhi

All of us are living in the same place: the earth, so we have the
same rights and freedoms, no matter what status you are.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed as a common standard of

achievement for all people and all nations, in order that both: individuals and institutions,
be inspired by it and promote by teaching and education, respect for these rights and
freedoms and to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance.
To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures
and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common
destiny.

What do you know about your

humanrightsandyourfreedoms?
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality,
place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or
any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without
discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.

Universalandinalienablerights
The principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international
human rights law. This principle, as first emphasized in the Universal
Declaration on Human Rights in 1948, has been reiterated in numerous
international human rights conventions, declarations, and resolutions.

Humanrightsthroughhistory.
The Cyrus Cylinder, a clay tablet is the first human rights declaration in history.
The idea of human rights spread quickly to India, Greece and eventually Rome.
The most important advances since then have included:

1215: The Magna Carta: gave people new rights and made the king subject to the law.
1628: The Petition of Right: set out the rights of the people.
1776: The United States Declaration of Independence: proclaimed the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
1789: The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen: a document of France,
stating that all citizens are equal under the law.
1948: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: the first document listing the 30
rights to which everyone is entitled.
A long time ago, began the fight for universal human rights and freedoms. Its time to
enforce them.
