The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 10 December 1948, in response to the “barbarous acts which […] outraged the conscience of mankind” during the Second World War. It lists 30 human rights which are the foundation for freedom, justice and peace. It is the most translated document in the world, and continues to form the basis of international human rights law.

If you can't join us tomorrow, visit Amnesty International's website, and sign letters there.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
