For 16 years, WITNESS has harnessed the power of video to advance human rights. In honor of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10th, a short video was put together with different WITNESS staff talking about images that opened their eyes to human rights abuses around the world.
They want to hear from you: What image opened your eyes to human rights?
Was it an image or video that gave you hope, or did it show you how much further we needed to go and inspire you to take action?

02/27/09--05:05: The Human Rights Forest (chan 2564005)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ratified by the United Nations 60 years ago, adds to our own Political Bill of Rights an Economic Bill of Rights.

The UDHR is based on the tireless efforts of Eleanor Roosevelt and many others.

This Declaration includes as Human Rights the right to a job, to join a union, to a standard of living adequate to provide health, food, clothing, housing, medical care and social services.

It includes education that is generally available and equally accessible that promotes respect for human rights, understanding, tolerance, friendship among nations, racial, or religious groups.

It includes the right to culture, to enjoy the arts, to share in the benefits of scientific advancement.

These rights are natural rights, not a luxury. We don’t have to earn these rights; everyone is born with them. The rights are not separable – they are all necessary together.

The Human Rights Forest was a project of the Greater New Haven Peace Council. At the annual Peabody Museum celebration of the birth of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., we asked children to pick one of the human rights, add it to a tree and paste it into the forest. Each tree is essential to the health of the forest.
The Forest is now on display at the main branch New Haven Free Public Library.

See and listen to kids describing their tree:

10/17/09--15:40: Human Rights Education in the School Systems of Europe, Central Asia and North America: A Compendium of Good Practice (chan 2564005)

The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE/ODIHR), the Council of Europe, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) are pleased to announce the publication of Human Rights Education in the School Systems of Europe, Central Asia and North America: A Compendium of Good Practice. HREA was retained to develop the Compendium under the guidance of these partners.

Designed for primary and secondary schools, teacher training institutions and other learning settings, the new tool, which collects 101 exemplary practices from Central Asia, Europe and North America, is a valuable resource for teachers and education policymakers.

It provides resource materials relevant to key elements for successful human rights education, including 1) laws, guidelines and standards; 2) learning environment; 3) teaching and learning tools; 4) professional development for educators, and 5) evaluation.

The collection demonstrates creative approaches to human rights education and aims to facilitate networking and exchange of experience among education professionals. The practices can be adapted to local conditions anywhere in the world.

Launched today, 2 October 2009, at the annual OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw (Poland), the collection contributes to the national implementation of the World Programme for Human Rights Education, a global initiative of the United Nations General Assembly.

A PDF version of the main part of the Compendium is available on the websites of the partner organizations, in addition to HREA's (www.hrea.org/compendium). This document does not yet include the Annex containing samples of the resources. We anticipate that the Compendium will be fully available online as of December 2009.
