5.4 millions families are supporting the Call in favour respect and dignity of life in the human family

As today the world celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the Familiokratos coalition is proud to announce that it currently totals 5,4 million signatures for the call in favour respect and dignity of life in the human family.

The call states:

We, citizens of UN member states, in this year of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHR), adopted and proclaimed by the UN General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948,

Recalling that the UDHR is a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all Nations,

Bearing in mind that Human rights and dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity and justice constitute the spiritual and moral patrimony on which the union of Nations is based,

Stressing that due consideration must be given to:
- the right to life of every human being, from conception to natural death, each child having the right to be conceived, born and educated within the family, based on marriage between a woman and a man, the family being the natural and fundamental group unit of society,
- the right to be educated by his/her parents, who have a prior and fundamental right to choose - the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

Therefore, we call upon governmental representatives, politicians, and all other decision-makers to interpret UDHR in the light of the above, in order to respect, promote and reinforce the commitment of their government in the UDHR, mainly by reaffirming that:

Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
Article 16:
1. Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family.
3. The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.
Article 25: 2. Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance.
Article 26: 3. Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.
