Liberals Around the World Mark International Human Rights Day 2013
LI News, London, 10 December
The International Human Rights Day, which we celebrate today, marks the important progress we have achieved in the struggle for universal human rights worldwide. It is also a day for reflection, as we pause to consider the many difficulties that still remain on the path to achieving social justice and equality for all.
“In Liberal International we celebrate every day as Human Rights day as they are the core of our philosophy and policies. As we mark the International Human Rights Day, let us reflect on the only standing Committee within Liberal International: the Human Rights Committee. We bring together government members, parliamentarians, opposition leaders and activists under one umbrella to fight against human rights violations and for freedom all across the world. Upon the Committee’s leadership Liberal International
has proven times and times again that it can be a leader in the fight against injustices and inequities by bridging the gap between human rights practitioners and politicians”, Hans Van Baalen MEP, President of Liberal International.
