Human rights are fundamental rights that every person is entitled to, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnicity, religion, language, or any other status. They include the right to life, freedom from torture, freedom of thought and expression, and the right to work and education. Protecting these rights is critical because they are essential to human dignity and the foundation for freedom, justice, and peace.

Today, poverty prevails as the gravest human rights challenge in the world. Combating poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not a matter of charity, and it does not depend on how rich a country is. By tackling poverty as a matter of human rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of abolishing this scourge in our lifetime... Poverty eradication is an achievable goal.

IPOKRATE is celebrating Human Rights Day to remind everyone of the importance of their rights, whoever they may be and wherever they may be.
