ROME: Human Rights Day is annually celebrated on 10 December. It marks the date when the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) – a milestone document that proclaims the inalienable rights of everyone regardless of color, race, religion, sex, property, birth, language or status.
For the annual observance this year, the UN proposes “Recover Better – Stand Up for Human Rights” as the theme. It relates to the ongoing Covid-19 health crisis, focusing on the importance of building back better by ensuring that Human Rights are at the center of recovery efforts.
The UN also notes that we will only reach our common global goals if we “create equal opportunities for all, address the failures exposed and exploited by Covid-19 and apply human rights standards to tackle entrenched, systematic and intergenerational inequalities, exclusion and discrimination.”
