    Iconic Posters to Celebrate the International Human Rights Day

    A selection of posters that highlight different rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, published on December 10, 72 years ago The right to life, private property, and the use of your mother tongue. The right to work, education, digital inclusion, and housing. The right to fair and equitable treatment by the State, to a better distribution of income, to be able to consume and participate in the economy, to enjoy social security.

And, for some time now, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has begun to propose official themes each year. This 2020, for example, the slogan is Recover Better - Stand up for Human Rights.
