For each individual, this is a chance to reaffirm our understanding of the Declaration and other related principles with an open mind,
considering not only what concerns us individually or in our own group. We should bear in mind that all national or international rules,
regulations and principles only capture parts of the global reality in regard to human rights issues. Situations in the real world are
much more dynamic and diversified. It is essential that we broaden our world view to understand other fellow human beings,
appreciating their diversity and valuing the differences among us. If this is the case, this 60th anniversary commemoration of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights could not be regarded as an end in itself, but a crucial beginning of mutual understanding and
collaboration to rise to meet new human rights challenges.
