About this tool
The Human Rights Day Countdown shows exactly how much time is left — in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until Human Rights Day, updating in real time.
When is Human Rights Day?
Human Rights Day is observed on December 10 every year. If today's date has already passed this year's date, the countdown automatically switches to next year's occurrence.
What is Human Rights Day?
The date marks the anniversary of the UN General Assembly's adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and it's used worldwide to raise awareness of human rights issues and honor the declaration's principles.
Why use a countdown?
A countdown is a handy way for schools, organizations, and advocacy groups to plan events, campaigns, or educational activities timed to the day.
