All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
60 years after its first read, it’s still too young.
60 years were not enough to change people minds.
Human Rights are still denied in many country, and a lot of work has to be done.
But we are human, and we believe in Hope.
Happy Birthday, dear UDHR!

Today is an amazing day: I bought a Lonely Planet China!

Yeah, just buy a book it is not a good reason to be happy, but it means that I’m planning to visit China.
Like every year, next July I will partecipate to the RoboCup competitions, and after a week of hard work I will take a small trip with my friends. Are you wondering where? But in China of course!
To be honest I’m a little bit worried about what Chinese government are doing: they are killing Tibetan monk manifesting for their freedom. I’m very upset about any human rights violation (I’m a member of Amnesty International).
China is not an exception. Moreover with the Olympic Games held in Beijing, it seemed that something should have changed. I guess China is loosing opportunity to change the world.
This trip will the occasion to explore a small part of an ancient culture, which nothing have to do with current Government. It is a pity that they have such a awful behavior.
I will go there for the ancient culture and not for what China is now. And I’m sure that chinese people are not the same. In the future I hope they will understand how to tolerate and respect life of human beings.

The forfeiture of life is too absolute, too irreversible, for one human being to inflict it on another, even when backed by legal process.
Let the states that still use the death penalty stay their hand lest in time to come they look back with remorse knowing it is too late to redeem their grievous mistake.

Freedom, peace, human rights. These words are obscured, censored while hundred of monks are prisoned by military power and thousand of people are demonstrating for their thoughts.
In support of our incredibly brave friends in Burma: may all people around the world wear a red shirt on Friday, September 28. Please forward!
[find it: here]
Many people are fighting against injustice, silently, without guns, just their silence. Let them talk through our actions.
Wear a red shirt tomorrow…
I will.
