Description

HUMAN RIGHTS

There can be no real peace and security without human rights. Unless people's rights are respected, the promotion of economic and social development cannot be achieved. At the dawn of a new century, the world is still plagued with incidents of ethnic hatred and acts of genocide. People are still victims of xenophobic attitudes and are subjected to discrimination because of religion or gender. Is there hope for better days? In this edition of World Chronicle, Mary Robinson, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, talks about the present difficulties and challenges ahead in the field of human rights.
