We All Need Freedom of Expression and Justice
INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY DEC 10, 2009
Media Release
“WE ALL NEED FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND JUSTICE”
More than 10,000 Cambodians from communities around the country, including
trade unionists, students, farmers, fishermen, musicians, youths, tuk tuk
drivers, motorcycle drivers and NGO workers, will celebrate International Human
Rights Day (IHRD) in their communities this year.
These celebrations are tied together with the common theme “We All Need Freedom
of Expression and Justice!” and a common symbol - the blue Kramar to represent
the important role of human rights defenders in Cambodia.
The community initiatives will mark the achievements made in human rights in
Cambodia, but also focus on critical issues still facing the country’s citizens
– including exploitation of land and natural resources; restrictions to the
freedoms of expression, association and assembly; and violations of labor
rights.
IHRD is celebrated every year on 10 December as a reminder of the enduring
human rights struggles which continue to affect societies and communities in
every country. IHRD bears witness to and highlights pervasive human rights
abuses as well as standing as a call for action. The celebration of IHRD also
marks an opportunity for civil society, governments, international
organisations and citizens themselves to highlight their efforts in securing
recognition and observance of human rights principles.
