В 70-ю годовщину Всеобщей декларации прав человека международная сеть газетных карикатуристов Cartooning for Peace объединилась с Комиссаром Совета Европы по правам человека Дуней Миятович и Министерством иностранных и европейских дел Франции, чтобы организовать передвижную выставку под названием «Права человека – путь вперед»
«Выставка подчеркивает основополагающий принцип, согласно которому мы все рождены свободными и равными в своем достоинстве и правах. Он помогает посетителям реализовать на практике концепции надежды, свободы и универсализма, изложенные во Всеобщей декларации», - сказала Комиссар Миятович. «Выставочные мультфильмы также отдают дань уважения всем тем, кто борется за права человека»

With 30 newspaper cartoons, the exhibition reminds us of the relevance of the Universal Declaration against a background in which its values and principles are currently under serious threat.
The preview of the Cartooning for Peace exhibition will take place on 10 December 2018, International Human Rights Day, at the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs in Paris.
