The theme dealt with similarities and the between differences guarantees of human rights as stated in the UN charter and the UN Day U.S. Constitution, Chairman Beth Gurrister The awards were presented on Dec. 10 which is the 26th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Dec. 15 the day of the public announcement of the winners is the 183rd anniversary of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It is appropriate to link the two anniversaries together as the striving for human rights, though dimly perceived at times as the prime impetus for the birth of this government.
