This document discusses Human Rights Day, which is celebrated annually on December 10th to commemorate the adoption of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The Declaration established 30 basic civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights for all people. However, these rights are still not fully observed around the world. The document encourages supporting human rights and going to a Padlet board to write about specific rights that need more support. It includes a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt about how human rights must be upheld locally to have global meaning.

2. HUMAN RIGHTS DAY – 10TH DECEMBER
• GENERAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (GDHR)
• December 10, 1948 - The UN General Assembly adopted the GDHR,
which can be considered the most important document on human
rights
• 0n the day of the declaration we commemorate the INTERNATIONAL
HUMAN RIGHTS DAY every year
• The basic (30) articles of the declaration list basic civil, political,
cultural, economic and social rights which apply to all people in the
world
• Although the Declaration is binding on all countries of the world, even
today at the beginning of the 21st century, its individual articles are
not observed everywhere in the world and therefore it is necessary to
commemorate Human Rights Day and fight for their observance.

3. Eleanor Roosevelt
about human rights
„Where, after all, do universal human rights begin?
In small places, close to home -- so close and
so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of
the world. [...] Unless these rights have meaning
there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without
concerted citizen action to uphold them close
to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the
larger world."
Eleanor Roosevelt
