1. INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
12555 Biscayne Blvd. #974, FL 33181
EIN-90-432423
International Solidarity for Human Rights, Inc. was
organized in 2008 exclusively for charitable, religious,
educational, or scientific purposes as specified in
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
2. The organization’s specific mission is to promote education and respect to human rights as embodied and
proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
by the United Nations.
Our mission is to have human rights “as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all
nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in
mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by
progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and
observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories
under their jurisdiction”.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects,
making it the most widely translated document in the world, but less than 5% of the world knows that it
exists and only 1% of the population of the world has read it. People simply don’t know their human
rights.
MISSION
3. MAIN PROJECT
• Our main project The “Routes to Human Rights” in The MIAMI
DADE COLLEGE the largest and most important educational
Institution in the United Estates. (+154.000 students)
• The Route will hold artistic representations of each of the 30 articles
comprised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The
works of arts will be placed in each Campus of MDC which after
the unveiling of the piece of art will create a Human Rights
Commission on Campus to educate the students about Human
Rights issues. Each Human Rights Site is public and can be visited
free of charge.
• Route to Human Rights will be a place for reflection, providing
educational insights on issues related to the positive promotion of
human rights, and where small receptions related to the mission of
the Route to Human Rights Project may be held.
• All art works will be created by national or international artists.
5. THE ROUTE MDC
The Route to Human Rights at Miami Dade College will
consist of 30 works of art, 8 Plazas with large scale sculptures
installed at all 8 of the college’s campuses and a 5,000 square
foot Pavilion dedicated to human rights.
The works of art will be created by national and international
artists.
At every location, people will be educated and become
familiar with human rights, enjoy original works of art, and
earn stamps for their passport. Art work’s creativity, design,
and time, will be fully donated to the organization by
individual artists.
Locations or spaces for installation of the art works will be
fully provided by the Miami Dade College. They will also
assume the compromise of maintenance, care and permanent
vigilance of the work of art and installations.
