International Day of Human Rights
En 1950, l’Assemblée générale des nations unies a invité tous les états et toutes les organisations internationales concernées à célébrer le 10 décembre de chaque année la Journée des droits de l’homme.
L’éducation aux droits de l’homme est bien plus qu’un sujet de leçon ou que le thème d’une journée: c’est un processus qui vise à ce que chacun soit équipé pour vivre sa vie dans la sécurité et la dignité. En cette Journée internationale des droits de l’homme, continuons ensemble à faire le nécessaire pour que les générations futures aient une culture des droits de l’homme, et à promouvoir la liberté, la sécurité et la paix dans tous les pays. Kofi Annan, secrétaire général de l'ONU.

Cette journée marque l’anniversaire de l’adoption en 1948, par l'Assemblée, de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme.
