The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

In a world that can seem at times to be being overrun by the greedy and the vicious, we sometimes need to be reminded of the optimists, the humanitarians, the forces for good; they are the ones who see, and appeal to, the best in mankind. They are the ones who have produced major strides forward in our world, who have at times given us back our humanity.

The Community has produced a series of video messageswith Nobel laureates and the artists who support them speaking about the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The messages remind people of, or in some cases, introduce people to, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — the document that the world once aligned to, and the document that points the way to a better world today. 

Messages have been taped with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, José Ramos-Horta, Robert De Niro, Paul McCartney, Ron Howard and Morgan Freeman. And we have only begun.
