Schedule
On this day in 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the common ideal to which all peoples and all nations must aspire. The Declaration consists of an introduction and 30 articles that apply to all human beings, regardless of race, colour, sex, language, religion or political opinion.
The UN General Assembly decided in 1950 to celebrate the day of the Declaration's adoption each year as Human Rights Day. The General Assembly voted unanimously in favour, but eight countries - the Soviet bloc and Saudi Arabia - abstained.
The declaration was drafted at the request of the UN by Canadian lawyer and human rights activist John Peters Humphrey, with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, French judge René Cassin, Lebanese diplomat Charles Malik and Chinese professor P.C. Chang, among others.
Highlights of the thirty articles include:
- Right to life, liberty and security;
- Right to liberty, security and security of life;
- protection from torture, cruel, inhuman treatment or punishment;
- freedom of thought, conscience and religion;
- freedom of opinion and expression.
Since the 1960s, János Bródy has been an advocate of the fundamental values enshrined in the UN document, and his diverse art has been marked by respect for and defence of universal human rights.
The celebration of the anniversary every year is an occasion to recall that human rights are universal, indivisible, inalienable, interdependent and interrelated.
We welcome you all!
