Defending human rights
Make the World Keep its Word
2008 is an historic year. It’s a year for putting human rights in the picture, and you can be part of the story. 60 years ago, United Nations member countries signed up to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the basic principle being that all human beings are free and equal in dignity and rights. But today, there is a gulf between the UDHR and reality. Basic human rights are increasingly being abused around the world.
The Co-operative Bank and Amnesty International have joined forces to mark the 60th Anniversary of the UDHR with a campaign to raise awareness and call for action on human rights issues.
Be part of our campaign – take the pledge.
