Amid growing global crises and challenges, there are coordinated efforts to undermine human rights and the rule of law around the world, unitednationshumanrights chief Volker Türk warned earlier this year. “History has shown time and again that no one is safe when human rights are under attack.” Speaking at the #UnitedNations humanrightscouncil at ungeneva in September, he stressed that we need to safeguard eighty years of progress on freedom, equality and justice. “Human rights — all human rights — are the solid foundations of flourishing societies. They are the bonds of trust between people and their governments. They are a beacon of hope in the search for a better world that rejects violent conflict, brutality and injustice.” 📸: OHCHR/Anthony Headley #StandUp4HumanRights #YearInReview
