Human Rights Day - 10 December
Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a milestone document that proclaims the inalienable rights which everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
INPEA strives to ensure the UDHR's protection extends to protect older persons from violence, abuse and neglect through the enactment of a new convention on the human rights of older persons. Please join us in our efforts.
