Today is Human Rights Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
For the next year, the UN will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Declaration with a variety of events, public education efforts, and other programs. The theme of the year will be “Dignity and justice — for all of us”.
The United States has decided to celebrate by destroying videotapes of CIA torture sessions, lying about it to the media, and falsifying intelligence about Iran to justify going to war.
