You too can become an ambassador for the HRD
Signatures and support are growing for the DDHu!
The number of ambassadors of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights continues to grow and the Association of Friends of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can only be enthusiastic about this commitment from civil society.
After the city of Strasbourg and the State of Comoros who showed their support very early on, it is with pleasure that we welcome today new ambassadors:
Me SILINI Abdelmajid, President of the Algiers Bar
Me SCULIER Pierre, President of the Brussels Bar
Me MOHAMED Mahjoud, President of the Bar of Sousse
Ms. DONDI Daniela, President of the Bar of Modena
Mr. GAVRILOV Silvio, President of the Sofia Bar Association
Mr. ZOHRABYAN Ara, President of the Chamber of Armenian Lawyers and his representative Mr. PANOSYAN Martun
Mr. MICHELOGIANNIS Dimitri, representative of the President of the Bar of Chania
Me MANGEAT Grégoire, President of the Geneva Bar and his representative Me COTTIER Philippe
The ambassadors of the declaration undertake to seek and obtain the adherence of public authorities, non-governmental organizations, companies and, where appropriate, the State to which they belong, to the HRDu. As such, they may expressly introduce themselves as ambassadors of the declaration and co-sign the declaration with the new member.
The only obligation of the ambassadors is to keep the board of directors of the association of the friends of the DDHu and its president informed of the steps taken and the signatures when they occur.
The ambassadors are honorary members of the association of the friends of the DDHu. They can naturally bring in new members and propose new ambassadors to the association, if they deem it appropriate.
