Just 59 years ago the human race witnessed the birth of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The 10th of December is still commemorated in numerous countries around the world as Human Rights Day.
“Each and every person from around the world is to be respected and acknowledged for the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. These rights, which we know to not always be respected, include the right to life and liberty within each person’s social sphere. We also stand for the right to freedom of thought and expression, and most especially equality before the law.”
Thanks to the work of many medical students from around the world we have been able to present this to you in languages other than English.
