Hans Thoolen on Human Rights Defenders and their awards

I wonder how this campaign is doing. As far as I can see it has not yet caught on very much but then it started only in September 2011.

From more than 15,300 submissions from 190 countries, an international jury together with the internet community selected a universal symbol for human rights. The Human Rights Logo and any related material can now be used by everyone at no cost for the promotion and protection of human rights.

On 23 September 2011, the Human Rights Logo was unveiled in New York. The winning design is by Predrag Stakic of Serbia and combines the shape of a hand with that of a bird.

The logo can be downloaded free of charge in many different formats from: http://www.humanrightslogo.net/en/download
