The 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

The 75^th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) occurred in 2023.  Attached is a serious of podcasts prepared by Mr Phillip Tahmindjis.  He earlier worked with the Hon. Michael Kirby in the Secretariat of the Human Rights Institute of the International Bar Association, based in London.  He and Michael Kirby, at different stages in their careers, worked with Professor John Humphrey, Head of the Secretariat of Eleanor Roosevelt’s committee that drafted the UDHR.  Each of them knew and admired John Humphrey.  In this podcast, Phillip Tahmindjis includes conversations with John Humphrey about the process of drafting and completing the UDHR in 1948, in time for its adoption on 8 December 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.  In the podcast, Michael Kirby tells of his experience in receiving instruction at school in Sydney, Australia, on the language and purposes of the UDHR and of its importance for human rights, justice, peace and security.
