We marked International Human Rights Day on Tuesday, 10 December by awarding Human Rights House plaques to individuals who contributed to the promotion and improvement of human rights in Serbia in the year that is coming to a close.
This year’s winners are:
- Marija Ratković, art and media theorist, journalist and columnist.
- Renewables and Environmental Regulatory Institute,and
- Aleksandar Obradović, whose award was accepted on his behalf by his wife Kristina.
International Human Rights Day was also marked by the opening of the exhibition “25 Pictures: Universal Declaration of Human Rights” which is the result of cooperation of the UN Human Rights Team in Serbia and the BCHR. Inspired by pop art and cartoon aesthetics, its author Nebojša Petrović shared with us his visualisation of the UDHR.
Furthermore, Civic Initiatives launched the global Freedom Runner campaign, the goal of which is to disseminate stories of Freedom heroes who are initiating changes in society by alerting to injustices.
