We must want our fellow human beings to have rights and freedoms, which give them dignity.

Did you know about the Declaration stating all humans everywhere have the same basic rights?

Today we're embracing equality, like every day at the 10 News, and celebrating Human Rights Day.

So in fighting for those, we fight for peace. I'm Bethany Van Delft. It's Thursday, December 9th, and this is the 10 News.

10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 0, 1.

December 10th is Human Rights Day, the day we commemorate the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

But what are our rights as humans?

Yeah!

Here to read five articles from the UN's Declaration is one of our very own tenors, Aruna.

I'm Aruna, age 11, and here are five articles from the United Nations Universal Declaration

of Human Rights.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

They are endowed with reason and

conscious and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Everyone has the right

to life, liberty, and the security of person. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude.

Slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. No one shall be subjected to torture or

to cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Everyone has the right to recognition

everywhere as a person before the law. Yes! A big 10 news snaps to Aruna. Thank you. There are 30 total

articles in the UN Declaration of Human Rights,

and you can learn more about the rest of your rights by checking out the link in the show notes,

or heading to our website, www.com.

Now you know what your basic human rights are, but maybe you're wondering why we ever needed to write these down.
