Learn About... Rights!
We all need rights, they ensure we survive, develop and they protect us. Rights are also about having the opportunity to be involved and included on matters that affect us. Rights ensure that everybody is treated equally and fairly. But... with rights come responsibilities. It is important that your rights are respected but it is also important that you respect other people's rights.
The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 was one of the most important Global Summits ever held on Environment and Development. It agreed an overall Agenda for saving our planet in the 21st Century which was called Agenda 21. Sustainable Development is not only about Environment, it also concerns peace and Human Rights, because these issues are interdependent and indivisible. It is about changing politics, communities, individuals, values and lifestyles. |
