On December 10th 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in which thirty articles stated that each human being has equal rights in all senses, freedom of expression, legal liberty and equality regarding food, housing, health, education and communication; the right to earn a living, freedom of religion and political convictions, freedom of movement, freedom to rest and to be entertained; the prohibition of torture and the right not to be enslaved. Today, 60 years later, in many parts of the world these articles have been realized only in fragments. All too often there are racial discriminations, illegal arms trading, land mines, chemical arms and cluster bombs; the ever existing phenomenon of child labor, child soldiers and abandoned street children; the ongoing phenomenon of torture, murders, war crimes, the denied rights to homosexuals and AIDS victims are still prevalent. In reality, human rights are still often a privilege only for the few. The role played by cultural and artistic activities and organizations in order to establish and extend human rights seems minor in comparison to political organizations and economic enterprises. However, literature, music, poetry, visual arts, theatre and dance have deep communicative powers to extend and create a new social conscience: multinational, multi-linguistic and multicultural. The power of music is an extremely forceful instrument for communicating ideas in a cooperative and non-violent spirit all over the world. We regard each of the articles of the Declaration of Human Rights as a promise, a hope and a vision to be fulfilled.
