africa/global: Human Rights Education – Towards the End of the UN Decade

This article from the Nordic Journal of Human Rights gives a brief overview of activities during the UN Decade of Human Rights Education (1995-2004). The author concludes that "...although the UN Decade will be over in 2004 there is little hope that governments will improve their actions towards the fulfilment of their obligations in human rights education. With or without a second UN Decade and a Voluntary Fund for Human Rights Education, the obligations for States will last and the duty to cooperate meaningfully in human rights information will remain.
