We stand taller today because of the efforts of so many who have fought to ensure that the human rights are a certainty and not just an ideal.
The 2013 Human Rights Day celebrates the past 20 years since the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action. Unfortunately we also have to say goodbye to one of warriors who inspired people all over the world. It is his leadership, his actions and inspiring words that we will continue to honor and cherish.

Human rights are too often set aside, when they should be a fact of life. We own ourselves and each other that human right should not be just a talking point but a goal for which we each work every day. For human rights to become a certainty for all there are no small actions, just actions.







"Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, 
and where individuals and nations are free."
14th Dalai Lama

who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood."
