last week we launched an online discussion to commemorate International Human 
Rights Day (December 10). Specifically, we'd like you discuss what this day 
means to you and what you or your organization did to recognize the importance 
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Click <http://events.newtactics.org/login/register.xml?

is an international initiative led by a diverse group of organizations and 
practitioners from around the world. The project is coordinated by the  
<http://www.cvt.org/> Center for Victims of Torture and grew out of its

advocates for the protection of human rights from a unique position-one of 
healing and reclaiming civic
leadership.
