Story: Human rights
This United Nations poster expresses two important aspects of civil and political rights. It emphasises the point that people must have the freedom to 'speak up' – and also declares that they should be free from discrimination. The figures on the poster illustrate some of the causes of discrimination, such as age, gender, ethnicity and disability.
