you have the right

2008 is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 60th anniversary. And 2008 can be the year that individuals as you and me, not just governments, sign the Declaration. These are the first six points, but you can read the full Universal Declaration and sign it here.


1. When children are born, they are free and each should be treated in the same way. They have reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a friendly manner.

2. Everyone can claim the following rights, despite

- a different sex
- a different skin colour
- speaking a different language
- thinking different things
- believing in another religion
- owning more or less
- being born in another social group

3. You have the right to live, and to live in freedom and safety.

4. Nobody has the right to treat you as his/her slave and you should not make anyone your slave.

5. Nobody has the right to torture you.

6. You should be legally protected in the same way everywhere, and like everyone else.

and you have the right to follow your dreams...
