OSCE marks Human Rights Day

(Patria) - Today, 10 December, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina marks Human Rights Day, reaffirming our firm commitment to equality, dignity and justice for all those living in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Together we must promote solidarity, embrace diversity, protect media and other fundamental freedoms, ensure safe and sustainable return of displaced persons, improve the quality of and access to education, guarantee equality before the law and prevent all forms of gender-based violence.

There must be full and genuine respect for the inalienable rights of every individual, regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, national origin or any other protected characteristic.

Every person in BiH and anywhere else deserves to live freely, without discrimination and oppression. Let us continue to advocate, educate and strive for a society in which human rights are universally recognised, protected and enjoyed. Happy Human Rights Day!", the OSCE stated.
