Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - on banners in Dushanbe

The Coalition of Civil Society against Torture and Impunity in Tajikistan is holding a series of events devoted to the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Human Rights Day.

Over the next 15 days, starting from December 5, banners in the Tajik language with the text of the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights along with two comments to each of them, by a civil servant and a human rights activist, will be placed in various districts of Dushanbe.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. This was the first universal international legal act in the history of humanity, which enshrines the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual. This document is also the first in a series of universal international acts governing the human rights protection.

The binding thread of the declaration is the spirit of combating discrimination, the belief that all people are equal and have equal rights.
