Happy Human Rights Day: Live and Do So Peacefully.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global definition of human rights and the standard on the appropriate treatment of individuals, groups, and societies.

The document was written to promote the universal human right: to live and to do so peacefully. With versions available in more than 337 languages, the UDHR holds the record for the world's most translated document.

To celebrate Human Rights Day, we here at Rising Hegemon are following the example of WITNESS -- who normally use video to document and expose human rights violations --  and are turning the reflection around on themselves, friends, and family to ask a question sorely needing answering in these days of perpetual war:

"What image opened your eyes to human rights?"

In that spirit we want to encourage dialogue here and ask... "What image or event opened your eyes to human rights?"
