HUMAN RIGHTS DAY DEC 10 TH | HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2010
Human Rights Day across the country. This day has been set aside for South Africans to recognize their rights and ensure that prior abuses won’t happen again. In 1996, President Mandela, in a statement on Human Rights Day’Human Rights Day is celebrated annually across the world on 10 December.The date was chosen to honor the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first global enunciation of human rights. The formal establishment of Human Rights Day occurred at the 317th Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly on 4 December 1950, when the General Assembly declared resolution 423(V), inviting all member states and any other interested organizations to celebrate the day as they saw fit.
“Today, poverty prevails as the gravest human rights challenge in the world. Combating poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not a matter of charity, and it does not depend on how rich a country is. By tackling poverty as a matter of human rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of abolishing this scourge in our lifetime….Poverty eradication is an achievable goal.”
The 62th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights occurred on 10 December 2010, and the UN Secretary General launched a year-long campaign leading up to this anniversary. Because the UDHR holds the world record as the most translated document, organizations around the globe used the year to focus on helping people everywhere learn about their rights.
