On 10 December 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which confirms the acceptance of 30 fundamental rights, was adopted unanimously by UN member states.
In the run-up to the 60th anniversary, Amnesty International Mauritius Section (AIMS) will organize a series of activities that celebrate the UDHR.
1. On December 10th --International Human Rights Day-- you are invited to honor this day by participating in Amnesty International's Global Write-a-thon--the world's largest letter writing event. At the Caudan Waterfront, from 11h00 to 13h00, come visit us, talk to us and Write letters on behalf of prisoners of conscience and human rights defenders at risk of severe human rights violations.
Join thousands of people around the world for this monumental event.
2. On December 13th, we will organize a "Bus Tour" where members of AIMS will travel to all four corners of the country, mostly in rural areas, to present the UDHR to both children and adults. They will ask Mauritian citizens to sign a pledge where they will:
- confirm their solemn engagement to respect and subscribe fully to the principles and values embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
- acknowledge that every human being has rights, regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, disability or age.
- affirm that they are responsible for the promotion and protection of human rights.
3. On December 14th, with the collaboration of many local NGOs, AIMS will do a Human Rights Festival where all Mauritian citizens will Walk in the streets of Rose Hill to promote Human Rights. The walk will begin at 9h30 at the municipality of Quatre-Bornes and will end at 11h00 at the municipality of Rose-Hill. Please JOIN us for the GREAT WALK for the promotion of human rights!
4. In collaboration with the District Council of Grand-Port/Savanne, AIMS will present a Public Concert in Souillac (Jardin de Telfair) on December 14th from 15h00 to 18h00. Many national artists (musicians and dancers) will use their talent to promote human rights and inspire and engage new human rights activists throughout the country. This concert is free and we invite you to join us!!!
Didi (Declarasyon Iniversel Draw Imin)
Aut\comp Alain Auriant
Amnesty li enn muvman ki internasyonal
Li regrup dimun ki krwar dan deklarasyon
Universel kot sak imin ena drwa egal
San distinksyon kuler,sex,ras u relizyon.
Dan zil kot nu abite zot ena enn lekip
Ki p fer enn travay ki vreman manifik
Sa lekip la bizin grandi
Mem si nu zil li byin tipti
Fodre frer ek ser zwir liberte
Tut form linzistis eradike
Mwa, mo anvi milit avek amnesty
Parski mo krwar dan so filozofi
Fier ena sa dan nu pei.[2x]
Ref
Mo pu sante
Mo pu kriye
Mo na pa pu esite
Pu fer dimunn kone, ki ete?
Deklarasyon iniversel drwa imin.[bis]
Respkte enn dimunn ki defann drwa imin
Pa pran li pu imbesil kan truv li p fer sa
Pu ariv enn zur kot u pu bizin so sutyin
Kan u retruv u viktim inzistis isi ba
Akoz inpe puvwar ena pa p esite
Fer viris kominal infeste nu site
Amnesti na pa pu esite
Sort lor sime manifeste
E nu artis nu pu sante
Kan santi dinite p bafwe
Kan nu truv dan sertin pei,seki pe arive
Drwa imin pa pe respekte
ape pietine move kalite
Truv nu frer gagn emprizone u mem elimine
Parski simpleman ti anvi
Dir ki li li nepli, kapav tini.
Song produced for AIMS in the context of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the UDHR
