Today is the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - a monumental point in history
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to wish the Declaration a happy birthday. Wouldn't it be nice if human rights abuses were only in our 'history'? Meaning wouldn't it be nice if no one suffered human rights abuses anywhere in this world?
I could list those countries where practices amounting to human rights abuses still exist today. But the list would be too long....organizations such as Amnesty International catalogue over 150 countries in which serious human rights abuses exist.
People all over the world including here in Canada must continue to work towards creating a situation where all peoples everywhere can genuinely wish each other and the UDHR a 'Happy Birthday' on some future December 10.
