Since 1950, Human Rights Day has been observed annually on December 10th. Commemorating the day on which the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, December 10th serves as a reminder that we are all entitled to the most basic freedoms.
This year’s Human Rights Day is devoted to the launch of a year-long campaign for the 50th anniversary of the two International Covenants on Human Rights: the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 16 December 1966.
