International Human Rights Day
December 10
Human Rights Day is celebrated annually across the world on 10 December every year and Human Rights Day is the day in 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Today, poverty prevails as the gravest human rights challenge in the world. Combating poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not a matter of charity, and it does not depend on how rich a country is. By tackling poverty as a matter of human rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of abolishing this scourge in our lifetime... Poverty eradication is an achievable goal.
— UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour, 10 December 2006
