75 Jahre Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte
Whether protection from torture or on the run, freedom of expression, the right to work and protection from poverty or sexual and reproductive self-determination: human rights should not only apply in every country, but also permeate all of life and offer universal protection against tyranny, oppression and exploitation.
The international conference on the 75th anniversary of the Declaration will provide a forum to discuss challenges in enforcing human rights and to strengthen human rights work for the future.
