The 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was celebrated in Ethiopia through a double theme, “Reinvigorating Civic Space and the Media Landscape Space in Ethiopia Post-2018” and “Accountability for Violations of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.”

As Albab Tesfaye, Director, Office of the Chief Commissioner EHRC, informed Capital in an exclusive, “This year’s conference is different because the representatives of the Ethiopian government will present commitments on the 75th International Declaration of Human Rights, which is scheduled to be held in Geneva on December 11 and 12, 2023.”

Human Rights Day is celebrated worldwide every year on December 10, 2023, marking the 75th anniversary of the Declaration.

Human Rights Day captures all the moments from this year’s commemoration and seeks to raise awareness of the universal and inalienable nature of human rights, especially among young people, to inspire people to create a collective humanitarian movement that will allow them to fight for and take their rights.
