Human Rights Day

December 10: When UN delegates gather in New York to mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Dec. 10, some 250,000 Congolese citizens will huddle in jungles and makeshift displacement camps, fleeing the rebel violence that has rocked the African nation since August. They'll clamor to avoid the armed soldiers perpetrating widespread rape and kidnapping in a worsening terror campaign that violates their human rights. Nearly 60 years after UN delegates signed a document designed to define human rights standards, humanitarian groups are worried about fresh conflicts and chronic stalemates contributing to humanitarian crises around the world, and point particularly to escalating suffering in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe.
