Won't You Defend Human Rights Defenders
Human rights defenders in many countries risk their lives in speaking out for human rights respect.

Both government leaders and citizens' organizations recognize that an important means of providing protection for human rights defenders is United Nations adoption of a Human Rights Defenders Declaration.

You can encourage prompt adoption of the Declaration by printing this PETITION, signing it, and asking friends and colleagues to add their signatures.

The petition can be mailed to:

Defenders Declaration
Human Rights Internet
8 York Street, Suite 302
Ottawa, ON
K1N 5S6  Canada

Postage to Canada from the United States is $0.46.
