BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Universal Declaration of Human Rights @ 75

Roy Jenkins examines the significance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Roy Jenkins speaks to four guests who have dedicated their lives to fighting for rights across the globe.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed on 10th December 1948, is seen by many to be a milestone document in human history. Drafted in the aftermath of the Second World War, it set out basic rights that belong to all of us regardless of race, religion, gender or politics. 

But has the declaration withstood the test of time? Roy Jenkins examines the issues with four people who have dedicated their working lives to fighting for human rights. Professor Sir Malcolm Evans, Principal of Regent’s Park College in Oxford and former Chair of the United Nations Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture. Canon Paul Oestreicher, an Anglican priest and a Quaker, a CND vice-president and former Chair of Amnesty International UK. Yasmine Ahmed, UK Director of Human Rights Watch and Marissa Conway CEO of the United Nations Association in the UK.
