NHRC Marks Human Rights Day

Doha, December 10 (QNA) - Qatar National Human Rights Committees (NHRC) has marked the Human Rights Day, which falls on 10th of December of each year. The Committee organized on this occasion this evening, at Souk waqif, a number of activities which enhance the dissemination and establishment of a human rights culture in the country. NHRC Secretary General Mariam bint Abdullah Al-Attiyah said in remarks on the occasion that this year’s slogan, Human Rights 365, encompasses the idea that every day is Human Rights Day. It celebrates the fundamental proposition in the Universal Declaration that each one of us, everywhere, at all times is entitled to the full range of human rights, that human rights belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values. The slogan contains a clear message that the United Nations Human Rights Council supports millions of people around the world who risk their lives for human rights, she added. The UN General Assembly proclaimed 10 December as Human Rights Day in 1950, to bring to the attention of the peoples of the world the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations.
