Every Human Has Rights

In the 60th year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The Elders, partnering with GCAP and many other organizations around the world, launch the Every Human Has Rights campaign.

We urge you to embrace the values and goals of the Declaration. To protect the rights of your fellow global villagers. And encourage others to do the same in your communities, workplaces and schools.

Sign the pledge now!
