Our rights: Our freedoms – Always – UN campaign launched

Every year on December 10^th Human Rights International Day is celebrated. On this day in 1948 the UN General Assembly adopted Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

This year’s Human Rights day is devoted to the launch of a year-long campaign organized on the occasion of 50^th anniversary of proclamation of two international Covenants. These are International Convenant on economic, social and cultural rights and Civil and political rights which were adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 16^th of 1966.

“Our rights: Our freedoms: Always – UN campaign aims to promote awareness about these two treaties. The main topic of one-year campaign is rights and freedoms – freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from need, freedom from fear, which confirm that International Bill on Human rights is as actual as it used to be 50 years ago.
