They might also make December IO, the anniversary of the signing at the United Nations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a day of celebration and an affirmation of commitment to justice.
I really love this concept of celebrating and encouraging students and educators to speak up against injustices. It seems highly different to the "keep your head down and the traditions strong" thought process that dominated most of my primary and secondary schooling.
Knowledge and awareness of those fac tors will lead to that elimination.
This is an excellent quote that nicely summarizes a concept that many struggle with. It feels almost like a continuation to the oft-quoted "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it", but with a stronger, or perhaps more direct, plan of action.
Elaborating the rights' guarantees stated in the UDHR are the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (and the Optional Protocol) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights
I find it interesting that while we often talk about the UDHR, I have never heard of the elaborative documents listed here. Furthering that interest, this is the first class I have had that has actively included the UDHR beyond a brief throwaway mention. I wonder why these documents, obviously highly important to many, are not touched upon more often in American schools.
