HUMAN RIGHTS EXHIBITION IS BEING DISPLAYED AT BUYUK HAN UNTIL THE 20TH
Within the framework of events marking the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a photograph exhibition was opened in capital Lefkosa last night.(North Nicosia)
“The Humanity on Trial”, which is being displayed at the Buyuk Han, witnesses the violation of fundamental human rights against men, women and children from all over the world.
The exhibiton was jointly organized by the Turkish Cypriot Human Rights Foundation, French Ambassador to Cyprus Nicolas Galey and the French Turkish Cypriot Cultural Association.
During last night’s opening ceremony, foreign students read out some sections from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in their native languages.
In her speech, the Head of the Turkish Cypriot Human Rights Foundation Emine Erk said the Foundation has been working hard to improve the enjoyment of human rights in North Cyprus further since 2005.
On his turn, Mr Galey said the universal declaration, which was immediately prepared right after the world-wide destruction caused by the Second World War, primarily intends to establish the common fact that every single individual has the right to enjoy human rights; and no person or authority should ban or withdraw them neither directly nor implicitly.
“Humanity on Trial” will be open for visits until 20th December.
