 There is much to celebrate about the achievements of human rights in last 20 years. This year’s theme is fittingly called “20 Years: Working for your Rights".  Despite the achievements and setbacks Navi Pillay, the present UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, highlights the importance of keep promoting and protecting all human rights, and focusing on the challenges ahead for the realizations of all human rights.
