International Human Rights Day is a day when the world celebrates and supports the universal rights and freedoms that belong to every person regardless of race, gender, religion, nationality and other characteristics. This day is intended to highlight the importance of respect for human rights and the commitment of states and societies in this area. Human rights are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace. International Human Rights Day reminds us to protect and promote these rights, and to combat abuses around the world. The day also serves as inspiration for action to create a more just and equal society where every person can live with dignity and freedom.
