The Universal Declaration of Human Rights for young people

In cooperation with Amnesty International

In this book all 30 articles of the Declaration of Human Rights are explained in a child-friendly manner and illustrated with many examples from our daily life. Article 7: All people are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection by the law, is easy to understand by children when you say that also a king can be stopped by the police if he drives too fast.

Or for example: article 24: Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and paid holidays. Children will be happy to read that they have a right for free time and to a private life with their own secrets.

This colourful book does not only show children what their rights are, but also makes them aware of what is wrong and what is right.
