The Elders : Every Human Has Rights
2008 is the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights 60th anniversary.

It`s a time for a global conversation about human rights.
To consider the values that unite us as one human family, and one global village. But it can be more.

For the last 60 years it`s been governments that have been asked to sign the Universal Declaration.

We hope that 2008 can be the year that individuals, not just governments, sign the declaration.

We`re hoping for one billion signatures from across the world.
We want yours to be one of them.

We urge you to embrace the values and goals of the declaration.
To protect the rights of your fellow global villagers. And encourage others to do the same in your communities, workplaces and schools.

Please sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Make your personal pledge to live your life by its principles.

Every human has rights.

ooh. I have not come across this. It looks genuine but I've never heard of the elders? Some big names involved though.

A friend of mines entire occupation appears to be to send me every single junkmail appeal that has ever been made.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

I know plenty of people like that.  I was surprised I had never heard of the Elders because, see nanne's comment, they are a prominent bunch.

Wikipedia: Global Elders
The Global Elders or The Elders is a group of public figures noted as elder statesmen, peace activists, and human rights advocates. The goal of the group is to solve global problems, using "almost 1,000 years of collective experience" to work on solutions for seemingly insurmountable problems like climate change, HIV/AIDS, and poverty, and "use their political independence to help resolve some of the world's most intractable conflicts."

The group is chaired by former Archbishop Desmond Tutu and currently consists of 12 leaders. The Elders' first mission was to travel to Sudan in September-October 2007 to foster peace in the Darfur crisis.

The group was initiated by Sir Richard Branson and musician and human rights activist Peter Gabriel together with anti-apartheid activist and former South African President Nelson Mandela. The Elders are sponsored by a group of founders who helped raise US$18 million for the group over the last three years. Nelson Mandela announced the formation of the group on his 89th birthday on 18 July 2007 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This is fascinating. Consider me signed up. We know that Governments should take a refresher in Ghandi. We also know tha Nelsen Mandala has been used as a tool of the NWO.

Poor South Africa these days. And we thought apartheid was bad!
