The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) turns 60 on 10 December 2008. United Nations has held a year-long UN system-wide advocacy campaign to mark this important milestone. The campaign, an initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General, is led by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and supported by UN agencies, departments and funds, and other international and local partners, to celebrate the Declaration and the promise that has made this document so enduring: “Dignity and justice for all of us”.
