Human Rights Empowerment

International Human Rights norms and standards diffused by and through Human Rights Education and Learning are key to aiming for a resilient society and accountable mode of governance.

Global Human Rights is today’s glocal realization of human rights. Think global- act locally and thus individually in realizing human rights. Human rights are universally shared moral values, such as friendship, solidarity, fairness, respect, and trust, encompassing legal and political bindings instruments. The United Nations International Bill of Human Rights is a vital human rights instrument. Universal human rights norms aim to help us all, develop our capacities, and prevent us from any harm in the form of ill-treatment and discrimination that could prevent us from prospering.

The 2011 UN Declaration on Human Rights Education (HRE) encourages stakeholders and learners to disseminate human rights norms to equip people with knowledge and understanding. HRE aims to empower people in their awareness, attitudes, and behavior toward the mutual benefits of human rights compliance anywhere in the world.
