Human Rights Day Conference
UN_logo_4

Each year, The Advocates for Human Rights commemorates the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948, with a conference and an evening event.  The United States served as a leader in the creation of the UDHR, which has come to be regarded as the single most important human rights document created in the twentieth century.  By commemorating the signing of the UDHR, we celebrate the United States' record of advancing people's human rights and reaffirm our commitment to be leaders in promoting and defending human rights in the United States and around the world.
