Dear friends of the HRDu,
When desired by the President of the French Republic, the DDHu appeared as a declaration justified by the addition of the ecological crises, the difficulties of access to resources for a large part of humanity, the ethical problems posed by by the technological progress and the risk of disappearance of the living.
Now, with the coronavirus pandemic and the immediate and future upheavals that it induces, this declaration of rights and duties appears even more adapted to the universal needs that are ours, and can moreover serve to reinforce the objectives of sustainable development.
Human and environmental health: a right of humanity.
The universal crisis that we calls for a universal legal response that translates for humanity, conceived as the chain of generations, of the rights and duties of all and of for the benefit of each and everyone.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is precisely a simple instrument, widely disseminated, which allows, in its flexibility, to serve as a foundation for the many actions that we will have to carry out to ensure the sustainability of life.
“It is of course infinitely too early to be able to draw all the lessons from what is happening to us concerning the coronavirus crisis. Nevertheless, a certain number of evidences appear…”

Our projects are not at a standstill!
In this context, many activities are slowing down: the Association of Friends of the HRD is taking advantage of this to advance its efforts to obtain the ECOSOC status from the United Nations. A very nice project in perspective for 2020, which allows not to lose sight of its objectives in these times of uncertainties…
