Sign the declaration of human rights – 60 years on

2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. For the last 60 years, governments across the globe have signed up and pledged their support for the Universal Declaration. The Elders (includes Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and Kofi Annan amongst others) have launched a site and a campaign (Every Human Has Rights) that urges every individual to sign up and pledge to live their lives by the principles of the Universal Declaration.

The Pledge:
I wish to take responsibility for upholding the goals of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in my daily life and in my community.
I will do my best to speak out to protect the freedom and rights of others in my community.
I affirm the following principle:
“Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.”
I believe Every Human Has Rights.

The aim is to capture 1 billion signatures. Make sure yours is one of them.
