Historic Audio-Visual Presentation of World's Foremost Human Rights Charter Released at United Nations
Fifty-eight years after adoption, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights comes to life in 30 public service announcements.
United Nations officials, embassy representatives and celebrities joined actress Anne Archer and 120 delegates from 25 nations at an international youth summit honoring human rights heroes. This event featured a unique new teaching tool — 30 public service announcements for TV, each portraying a different article of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The "Summit on Making Human Rights a Global Reality", held in Assembly Room One at the United Nations headquarters in New York, drew human rights activists from countries including the United States, Britain, France, Uganda, Liberia, Egypt, Nepal, Guyana, Colombia and Mexico.
