Human Rights Day

Did you know that 10 December is Human Rights Day?

On this day in 1948, the United Nations published a list of 30 rights which should apply to every human being, such as freedom of speech and movement. You can read the list of human rights in simple English by clicking here. Political conferences and cultural events are held all around the world on 10 December.

Although the list was written 64 years ago, there are still many places in the world where people do not have these rights.

Is it a good list? In Georgia, do people have all of the rights on the list? Do you think it's important to celebrate this event? Why (not)? Why not tell us your opinion below?
