62nd Session

The written statement of Pax Romana for the 62nd Session of UN Commission on Human Rights under Agenda Item 18: Effective Functioning of human rights mechanism.

Human rights is a notion that has been determinedly evolving throughout human history. They have been intricately attached to the laws, customs and religions throughout time. But only after the utter atrocities committed during the World War II the international community changed the view on human rights, recognizing that these rights were to be proclaimed and enforced universally. In the aftermath of the Holocaust the world expressed the need for the protection of a set of inalienable human rights.
