“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”- this is stated in the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “We are now, more than ever, understand the value of these words and try to bring them to life - said human rights activist Andriy Bolyubash - the basis of any state should be supremacy of law. This day is an absolute reminder that every citizen of the country, politician, lawyer or doctor should work within current legislation, respecting the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the UN Declaration”.
