Video length: 00:00:44

Minister St-Onge: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”

This is how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which marks its 75th anniversary on December 10, begins.

The Declaration is a beacon for humanity. It is a lasting reminder of how crucial it is to protect the fundamental rights of every individual.

Canada is proud to have helped draft and adopt the Declaration in 1948.

As a country, it will always be our duty and responsibility to champion human rights at home and around the world.

I encourage you to make the most of this anniversary by learning more about human rights.
