Human Rights Milestones : Challenges and Development in Asia

In conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, it is with much pleasure and solidarity that I present you FORUM-ASIA’s publication on “Human Rights Milestones: Challenges and Development in Asia”. This book is specially dedicated to all human rights defenders and their supporters – whether they are well-known, nameless or unsung heroes of human rights in Asia – who have contributed, many risking their lives, for the development of human rights in the past 60 years. In every country, every region, there are names and faces, too numerous to record here, that we would never forget. They have given us endless inspiration and remain a beacon of hope as we go along this journey to struggle for human rights and dignity. The purpose of this book is not only to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which we celebrated in 2008, but to contemplate what is to come after this significant milestone. For now is the time, as human rights defenders, to ask ourselves, how have we lived up to the visions of the UDHR, so painstakingly drafted in 1948? “Sixty years on, we are still a very long way from achieving the goals laid down in the Universal Declaration. No country in the world can sit back complacently and say ‘We’re there’”, said Ms Navi Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights, on 12 December 2008, in Geneva, during a commemorative session on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the UDHR
