Get up-to-speed with International Human Rights Day – Saturday 10 Dec

This Saturday is International Human Rights Day, and if you’re looking to find out more about its history and how human rights have evolved in New Zealand, then Te Ara should be your first stop.

Featuring the history of New Zealand’s Bill of Rights, International Human Rights law and the rights of the child, the Human Rights entry is an excellent resource for people wanting to know more about the role human rights play in our day to day lives.

Featuring historic images and posters charting the development of international human rights campaigns, the entry provides a wide range of materials for people to familiarise themselves with the essentials of human rights.
