To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of
Human
Rights, Amnesty International is collecting signatures for
a pledge to
support this very important United Nations declaration.
Amnesty already has 3 million signatures (real and virtual) world
wide, and
wants 8 million (which would be a significant proportion of the
world's
population of around 6 billion). The UN Secretary General has already
agreed
to be present either in person or live by satellite to receive
the pledge
as a tangible statement of the people of the world's commitment
to an
international agenda of human rights.
The most simple way to add your name to the pledge is to
* Send an email to udhr50th@amnesty.org.au
* Put YOUR NAME in the SUBJECT
* Put the following text in the message:
"I support the rights and freedoms in the Universal Declaration
of
Human Rights for all people, everywhere."
* Forward this message to as many people as you can.
