Seminar on Human Rights 13.-14. November 2009
Human rights are the basic rights and freedom for every human being. Human rights are for everyone regardless of race, religion, language and sex. Everyone is equal to enjoy these rights. On the other hand the term Human Rights contains an ideal. Those who use this term voice what it must be, not what it is. On 13-14 November 2009, a two-day Human Rights Seminar took place in Taksim office of Friedrich Naumann Foundation.
