About Human Rights Day
Human Rights Day, December 10, is observed worldwide every year to commemorate the day on which, in 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This year it marks the celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 2018 the Delegation of the European Union to Georgia is marking Human Rights Day with the slogan "I raise my voice for human rights", built upon the stand-up call to action #standup4humanrights.
