On the occasion of Human Rights Day Library is displaying its collection on this topic for 15 days.
Therefore, all the user community of the
college is requested to please visit the library to peruse through the collection.
Human
Rights Day is observed on 10 December of each year. On this day in 1948 the United Nations General
Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Today,
poverty prevails as the gravest human rights challenge in the world. Combating
poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not a matter of charity, and it does not
depend on how rich a country is. By tackling poverty as a matter of human
rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of abolishing this
scourge in our lifetime... Poverty
eradication is an achievable goal.
— UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour, 10 December 2006
