All of us at the International Justice Resource Center wish our readers, clients, partners, and supporters a very happy Human Rights Day.
Human Rights Day commemorates and celebrates the values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the world’s first universal human rights instrument. In 1950, the United Nations established Human Rights Day to increase awareness and appreciation of these fundamental freedoms. Now, 65 years later, Human Rights Day remains an important opportunity to reflect on shared values, learn about efforts to address human rights violations in our own communities and abroad, and connect with people working on a wide range of fundamental rights issues.
We at the International Justice Resource Center believe in the power of international human rights law, and the opportunities for justice, accountability, reform, and empowerment that its protections provide. In 2016, with your partnership, we will continue to connect victims of human rights abuses with these opportunities.
And, we have good news to share. All donations made to IJRC through the PayPal Giving Fund will be matched 201% this month. If you choose to support our work to advance human rights worldwide, there is no better time to donate than today.
On behalf of the IJRC team, happy Human Rights Day!
