>World Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10th December to commemorate the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10th December 1948. The UDHR is a milestone document consisting of 30 articles that proclaim the inalienable rights which everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, or status. This day is celebrated globally to create awareness about human dignity, equality, and justice. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India, established in 1993, organizes various programs on this day. The celebration reminds us that the rights of women, youth, indigenous people, and other marginalized groups are not charity but fundamental human rights. The theme for 2024 was "Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now."
