Today, December 10, is United Nations Human Rights Day, marking the 73rd anniversary of the General Assembly's adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This year's theme is "Reducing inequalities, advancing human rights". Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides:
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Yesterday, President Biden issued a Proclamation (full text) declaring today Human Rights Day and the beginning of Human Rights Week.
