Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice. |

The UN designated December 10 as Human Rights Day, commemorating the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on that day in 1948. The Universal Peace Federation views the oneness of the global human family as a foundation for securing human rights, calling for greater spiritual awareness and a collective will to ensure the well being of all people. Thus, human rights are secured not merely through laws, backed by the power of government enforcement, but by a rising awareness of our universal solidarity, that we are one human family, brothers and sisters who share a common spiritual and moral heritage. We are one family under God. Theme of Human Rights Day 2012: "My Voice Counts"UPF Observances of UN Human Rights Day
