10-TH OF DECEMBER – THE HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
Today's day – The Human Rights Day, this year we dedicate to the defenders of human rights and media, which in its operation have essential meaning for promotion of human rights and rising of awareness about the way of protection.
Human rights are the basis for building freedom, peace and justice. Human rights defenders play an essential role in protection from any violations and respect of the universal principle of equality.
Marking this day, the Ombudsman reminds on the need for greater promotion and protection of human rights and freedoms in our society and obligation of the state to support more activities for achievement of these goals.
The Human Rights Day is a good opportunity to welcome all activities of known and unknown human rights defenders, which should be an inspiration to all of us in order to strengthen our efforts for greater engagement in this field.
