CRIF also pays homage to the principal craftsmen of this text, the French lawyer René Cassin, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1968.
Sixty years later, CRIF considers that the number of violations of this declaration is huge. Human rights are totally flouted in a very large number of countries.
CRIF believes that the Human Rights Council, which has its headquarters at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, no longer assumes its function of promoting and defending human rights. Countries that repeatedly violate human rights, like Sudan or Iran, still have total immunity within this institution. By remaining silent, the HRC is serving the interests of dictatorships all over the world. Another international organisation is possible. This must be created so that the universality of Human Rights may be defended.
