Human Rights Day is indeed an additional opportunity to reiterate the principle of equality for all human beings

Why is the Human Rights Day important?

Human rights and freedoms enshrined in the text of the Declaration, run through it as a red thread and remain current. This is also underlined by the Tajik human rights activists who promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in Tajikistan in various areas. Below are their statements dedicated to International Human Rights Day...

Tojinisso Azizova, Director of the PO "HUKUKSHINOSON": “Human Rights Day is celebrated annually on December 10. It was on that day that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed, an important achievement of the world community. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrined a wide range of fundamental rights and freedoms that we all have. It guarantees the inalienable rights of every human being regardless of race, sex, language, religion, political or other beliefs, national or social origin, property, birth or another status. The commemoration of Human Rights Day is indeed an additional opportunity to reiterate the principle of equality for all human beings”.
