Press Release: 10 December 2007 – International Human Rights Day

Message from Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European Commissioner for External Relations and Neighbourhood Policy:
'International Human Rights Day represents an invaluable opportunity to reflect on the persistent human rights challenges worldwide and to identify what further steps the European Union can take to promote human rights throughout the world. However, there is still much to be done in turning human rights into reality in the life of every child, woman and man around the globe.'
