Founded in January 2016 by Corinne Lepage, president, environmental lawyer and former Minister of the Environment; Nicolas Imbert, treasurer, executive director of Green Cross France and Territories; and Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber, secretary, journalist, essayist and humanist, the purpose of the Association of Friends of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (DDHu) is to promote and support the DDHu in France and in the world. Its ultimate goal is to advocate for the adoption of the Declaration by the United Nations General Assembly.
Your support allows us to advance our project and its adoption around the world through communications campaigns, conferences and publications to raise awareness about the environment, humanity and the commons.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights could appear as a beautiful utopia: that of bringing together men and women but also entities of good will for their common future by accepting the definition of rights but above all of duties incumbent on the present generations in relation to the past generations and above all to the future generations. It is becoming a reality. Cities, regions, supranational organizations have subscribed to the HRDu as have numerous bar associations, NGOs and also companies and individuals. The movement initiated at the state level by the Comoros is spreading and will not stop until the United Nations has adopted the declaration, thus allowing for one of the first times in history for a text to be signed by states, public and private entities and individuals.
You too, support us
