World Human Rights Day 10th December

Every year the Human Rights Day is observed on 10th of December 2012 (64th year) across the whole world. Broadly speaking, ‘Human Right’means right to life, liberty, equality and the dignity of an individual irrespective of caste, creed or sex. Human rights are always natural. So these need to be protected for peaceful existence of human life. The present political environment shows the vertical erosion in the standards of fundamental human rights. Thus, here is the need  for celebrating Human Rights Day.

In the year 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the  Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR, states this term signifies the right which belongs equally to every individual. It envisages that all human beings are born free, equal in dignity & rights and are entitled to enjoy all rights. The declaration also talks about various civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Since the above mentioned year World Human Rights Day is celebrated all over the world. This day was also declared to raise awareness  among those who are deprived of their rights.
