Background:

December 10th marks the 55th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR) as adopted by the UN General Assembly. JHB's goal in sponsoring HR Day as an advocate for the rights of others is to raise awareness and invite the active collaboration of concerned individuals and communities world wide. UDHR's vision, which JHB share, is for the realization of governments to hold accountable and promote a culture of human rights and to address violations of the basic rights of citizens.

JHB's objectives on this important day are,

to bring international pressure -judicial political and economic- on the military junta for the widespread human rights abuses.

To gain the release of all political prisoners as well as the resumption of all political parties without restrictions, and the reestablishment of a full press freedom.

To bring a heightened attention to the gravity of the pervasive human rights abuses committed daily against the citizens of Burma.
