Description
OPENING REMARKS by the Chairperson
Since its inception in 1989, the International Institute of Human Rights Society celebrates Human Rights Day every year. The Society is a non-political, charitable organization and is open to all irrespective of religion, race, caste, sex, nationality or place of birth. Each year on the occasion of Human Rights Day, the Executive Committee holds a discussion on a select topic by inviting a speaker to deliver the theme address. This year’s theme is Human Rights & Social Justice under the Constitution. We are delighted that Hon’ble Mr Justice Arijit Pasayat, Judge, Supreme Court of India, whose commitment to Human Rights is well known, is delivering the theme address.
Today, we assemble here to celebrate the 58th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration was drafted by an Eight-member Committee, chaired by Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of the former United states President. It was unanimously adopted on 10th December, 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly. Since then, 10th December is celebrated every year worldwide as Human Rights Day.
