WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

Registration Benefit of NGO/CSO With IHRC
Regaining the indivisibility and universality of human rights
In 2023, we will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) – one of the most miraculous and important documents adopted by the United Nations. The UDHR 75 Initiative will recall the consensus imagined by the UDHR and seek to reset, strengthen, and further develop the remarkable human rights infrastructure we have built. As we celebrate this milestone for human rights, it is critical that we rekindle the spirit, impulse and vitality that led to the UDHR 75 years ago and rejuvenate a worldwide consensus on human rights — one that unifies us at a time when we need urgently to come together to confront our most pressing challenges.
This anniversary also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights, which paved the way for the establishment of UN Human Rights: two landmarks on the path to larger human dignity.
Protecting and promoting human rights for all
In 1948, the UDHR recognized that promoting and protecting human rights for all is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world. The UDHR also recognized that human rights are universal and indivisible, anchored in fundamental values that span every culture, religion, and continent.
As we look back over the last 75 years, human advancement has been spectacular. Steadily increasing recognition of human rights – at the individual, community, and global levels – has been at the heart of this progress. An ecosystem of laws and structures has been created to promote and protect human rights, including the nine, core international human rights instruments.
At the same time, the political, economic, social, and technological forces that shape the human experience have caused setbacks in the promise of the UDHR, in dignity and in equality of rights. Much of the potential of human rights to inspire and to help build a better, more equal, just, and prosperous world for all remains untapped.
And yet, with the world facing an ever-increasing series of challenges from the triple planetary crisis, skyrocketing inequalities, gender discrimination and backlash, insecurity and conflict, as well as a rise in hate speech, disinformation and polarization, human rights are more important than ever, bringing us together to overcome these challenges and to ensure dignity, freedom, and justice for all.
Three tracks of UDHR 75
The UDHR 75 Initiative will be coordinated by UN Human Rights, together with partners, and run from December 2022 to December 2023.
The year will feature engaging activities and advocacy plans across the globe, structured across three tracks, with three goals:
- Promoting universality and indivisibility. Renew consensus on the universality and indivisibility of human rights and expand the constituency for human rights, especially among young people.
- Looking to the future. Reflect on breakthroughs for human rights over the next 25 years – looking to UDHR 100 and deepen thinking on future human rights challenges.
- Sustaining the human rights ecosystem. Strengthen the human rights architecture, including a vision for the future of UN Human Rights, build trust, and mobilize more resources.
Two key milestone moments are envisaged for UDHR 75 in 2023:
- VDPA + 30 EVENT: high-level commemoration of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, focused on current challenges and the future of the Vienna Declaration and the work of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (Vienna, June 2023).
- HUMAN RIGHTS FORUM: high-level event, convened by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, bringing together Member States, civil society, and other stakeholders to engage and pledge real actions. Culmination of the anniversary year (Geneva, December 2023).
