Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)

Article 1

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

“WHAT IS YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS AT 75?”: On Equality, Fundamental Freedoms, Peace Education, and Justice for ALL

The confirmed speakers are:

• Opening Remarks (Video): Mr. Ramu Damodaran, The First Chief, The United Nations Academic Impact (2010 – 2021)
• Keynote Speaker: Mr. Rodrigo A. Carazo, Ambassador of Costa Rica to the United Nations (2018-2022); Member, The Human Rights Committee, Geneva;
• Speaker: F. Vildan Yirmibeşoğlu, Esq. Attorney in Human Rights, Türkiye
• Youth Speaker: Kavisha A. Jayarathne, “See The Human” screening, Sri Lanka
• Opening and Closing Performances by: ETAC Children Choir
• Moderators: Bircan Ünver, LMGlobal.Org & Hülya Koç, ETACUSA

Our ultimate goal is to contribute towards the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. At the same time, to encourage, in particular of youth and attendees to make a commitment towards “Human Rights” from personnel and/or institutional/organizational levels.

We believe everyone from all walks of life should commit toward contributing to #HumanRights, #WomenRights, #ChildrenRights, and #UniversalRights for all so that everyone’s voice and commitment could be seeded toward a more peaceful and just world. In this context, each of the esteemed speakers along with the Youth participation will empower our concept and we trust that it also will inspire our children, youth, and diverse participants and guests of the session.

An Open Invitation to Youth Participation (virtual)

Further, we—on behalf of The Light Millennium Global & Empowering the Turkish-American Community | ETAC, would like to invite, in particular, Youth to make a one-minute on-camera commitment for the 75th Anniversary of the “Human Rights“ on December 9, 2023. It may also be from a one-to-two-minute video project or up to 3 min. brief speech.

Please encourage the participation of YOUTH in this program, in particular, in these most critical times of our times toward making a commitment to #HumanRights.

Please kindly email us by November 7, 2023, via email to > event(at)lmglobal.org or info(at)etacusa.org.

Based upon received interest, the co-organizers will evaluate and invite selected “commitments” and/or video projects to be presented during the virtual event through the Zoom platform on December 9, 2023.

• Contributing Organizations are Turkish-American Cultural Alliance, Chicago | TACA;

2023 Theme: Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All

In the decades since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, human rights have become more recognised and more guaranteed across the globe. The UDHR has since served as the foundation for an expanding system of human rights protection that today focuses also on vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and migrants.
However, the promise of the UDHR, of dignity and equality in rights, has been under a sustained assault in recent years. As the world faces challenges new and ongoing – pandemics, conflicts, exploding inequalities, morally bankrupt global financial system, racism, climate change – the values, and rights enshrined in the UDHR provide guideposts for our collective actions that do not leave anyone behind.
The year-long Human Rights 75 initiative seeks to shift the needle of understanding and action towards greater knowledge of the universality of the UDHR and the activism associated with it.
