The United Nations has stated in clear and simple terms the rights that belong equally to every person. These rights belong to you. These rights are your rights. Familiarize yourself with them. Help to promote and defend them for yourself and your fellow human beings.

Amnesty International has pledged to do its part to make the vision of the UDHR a reality for every citizen of every country in the world!
