Pašalić: Solidarity is key in protecting human rights
The Protector of Citizens, Zoran Pašalić, assessed today, on the occasion of the International Human Rights Day – 10 December, that the greatest achievement in the area of human rights is the awareness that in addition to the rights that everyone seeks for themselves, there should also be a need to help all those whose rights are threatened.
"The key word is solidarity, more precisely mutual support and the need to help each other. Solidarity represents the tradition of people from this area, which has been shown in the most critical situations, even in recent history", said Pašalić.
Pašalić said that solidarity means respecting the rights of each person and strengthening their potential through support and assistance, and reminded of the importance of the well-being of each person because we are all connected in numerous ways, especially in times of crisis.
"Every day, we should keep in mind that each of our fellow citizens, neighbors or colleagues, each person has the same rights that we recognize for ourselves. We should all respect these rights individually, but also protect them and help in cases where some of them are threatened", stated Pašalić.
