On 10 December:
Celebrate Human Rights Day and the 60the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Stand up with people all over the world who want to make human rights a reality for everyone.

Every human has rights. That is the essence of our humanity. It places on each of us the duty to stand up, not just for our own rights but also for those of others - and to help turn the vision of the UDHR into a reality. That is the spirit of international solidarity. That is the true meaning of universal, indivisible human rights.

On this significant anniversary, people will be gathering together in hundreds of places all over the globe, to light a candle, fire or flame as part of a mass demonstration. On Human Rights Day, stand up for human rights and show your solidarity with people all over the world who are committed to making human rights a reality for everyone.

If, however, you did follow all the rules and don't see it up here, it was probably due to human error, so by all means e-mail...

In 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were slaughtered in just 100 days in an act of genocide. Meanwhile, neighboring Uganda was in the middle of what one top UN official would label "the world's most neglected humanitarian crisis."
