2008 also marks the 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration on Human Rights.
It's being proposed that a civil society event should therefore be held at the end of the year, in the wake of the Beijing Olympics, to:
1. Commemorate the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the UDHR, reflecting on the history of Human Rights implementation thusfar

2. Consider how the EU project is shifting emphasis away from Human Rights & subsidiarity and towards a dehumanized, undemocratic form of globalisation
3. Connect and empower individuals and groups by establishing a workable model for constructive rights-based work in the future
4. Develop a programme and model of grassroots organisation in the UK based on consideration of Article 1 of UNCCPR

5. Mobilise successfully and challenge this process in the UK and wider EU by 2012
If you'd like to get involved in the planning for this event, please contact Mark on 0785 439 0408 /
