Human Rights Day


Dec 10th is probably one of the most remarkable dates for human kind. On Dec 10th, 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the UDHR is the "most translated document" in the world. If you have not read the Declaration yet, maybe today is the day. Have a go and you will be impressed. Decide which article is in your opinion the most important one.
