Human rights are a precondition for peace and stability – the very key to security.
Almost twenty years to the day after I began my career in human rights – working for Afghan refugees in Pakistan – I once again found myself visiting a refugee camp there to find out at first hand what today’s Afghan refugees want for their country. It was International Human Rights Day in December, and for me, surrounded by a sea of Afghan children, there could have been no better way to mark the first such event of this century.
