In 2018, as in previous years, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will organise coordinated activities across its network of overseas posts and in London to commemorate Human Rights Day (10th December), which marks the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
The Government strongly believes in the values enshrined in the UDHR and its continued relevance in global affairs.
