ACRI will mark Human Rights Week on December 7-11, 2008, with a host of dynamic events throughout Israel as well as the publication of new videos and our annual “State of Human Rights Report.” Each year, states throughout the world mark the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948 and this year will mark its 60th anniversary. As such, ACRI’s “State of Human Rights Report” 2008 evaluates Israel’s realization of the tenets of the Declaration, the world’s most important human rights document. This year, ACRI has concentrated its activities in the city of Ramle, under the headline: “Ramle: City of Rights.” Ramle is a Jewish-Arab city located in the center of the country, but socially and economically on the periphery. The events aim to raise awareness of human rights among the city’s diverse communities.
Below is a preview of the events and publications planned for the week:
