This video features former United Nations Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson, who, along with Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and others, forms The Elders, a group of leaders dedicated to using their wisdom, independent leadership and experience to tackle some of the world’s toughest problems.
"Think of a world where everybody’s afraid to speak out," says Robinson in the PSA. "Then think of a world where no one is afraid to speak up."
The "Every Human Has Rights" campaign is a year-long celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Article 19 of the Declaration guarantees the right to freedom of opinion and expression.
