Human Rights 75 Youth Declaration | Sustainable Future For Present And Future Generations.

We envision a new agenda that can fulfill our vision of building a world in which “human beings shall enjoy freedom from fear and want.” A world where human rights are not an abstract aspiration but an everyday obligation that must be upheld; a world without discrimination, where diversity is embraced, and everyone has equal access to opportunities and resources; a world where human dignity, human rights, and our planet are not sacrificed for the profit of a few in power.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights | Dignity, Freedom and Justice for All

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people.
