The Story of Human Rights

United for Human Rights (UHR) is an international, not-for-profit organization dedicated to implementing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at local, regional, national and international levels. Its membership is comprised of individuals, educators and groups throughout the world who are actively forwarding the knowledge and protection of human rights by and for all Mankind.

Its purpose is to provide human rights educational resources and activities that inform, assist and unite individuals, educators, organizations and governmental bodies in the dissemination and adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at every level of society.

United for Human Rights was founded on the Declaration's 60th anniversary, in the face of continued worldwide abuses which violate the spirit, intent and Articles of this charter of all human rights, the first such document ever ratified by the community of nations. Surveys have found that most people have only a limited understanding of human rights. The Declaration contains the thirty rights that together form the basis of a civilization wherein all people can enjoy the freedoms to which they are entitled, and nations can coexist in peace.

If more educational videos looked like this, I think it would be a lot more affective for teaching and getting the message across.

[kathykurapika]

I've watched this video multiple times in social studies class, and literally, its the only video that made me interested in class XD

[TheBitBillionaire]

It's a shame that such a important and universal video (message) gets only 23, 000 views in 2½ years, while some crap like Gangnam Style gets more than a Billion in less than one year! Close to TWO BILLION in 1½...

or is the "little interest" due to the Channel('s owner) this video is on?

[Userrr]

Here from school. It was citizenship day today.

[jashcake]

THIS VIDEO DESERVES MORE. THAT ANIMATION IS BEAUTIFUL! KEEP IT UPPP! Really hope this would be shown to schools worldwide.

[MatheusHenriqueZiem]

I believe that men, today, are focused on the evolution of self development, being independent with the resources that are at our disposal

[TroyBrownTV]

They're not simply "people". They are organizations. Its important to note that the people who were effective were organized

My teacher showed me this in social studies and it almost made me cry in class. (the ending)

This video inspired me so much. I started making equal choices and be fair with others now. But if human rights still exist why don't others have the right to say anything
