[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will operate the '2022 Busan Human Rights Week' for 6 days from the 5th to December 10th to commemorate the 74th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

December 10th is the Universal Human Rights Day designated by the UN. The international community commemorates this day as 'Human Rights Day,' and the spirit of human rights is recognized today as a universal norm that all countries must uphold.

This year's Human Rights Week in Busan, under the slogan 'Busan Human Rights, Embracing Inclusion and Solidarity,' will feature various cultural events held throughout the city through the cooperation of Busan City, the City Human Rights Center, and human rights organizations to raise citizens' sensitivity to human rights.

On the first day of Human Rights Week, the 5th, at 10 a.m. at BEXCO, the 'Busan Human Rights Conference' will be held, where thematic discussions on the challenges of human rights administration and creating a safe human rights city will take place.

On the 9th at 9:30 a.m., a 'Human Rights Day Commemoration Ceremony' will be held in the main auditorium on the first floor of City Hall, attended by the mayor, the chairperson of the city council, the superintendent of education, as well as civic groups and key figures related to human rights.

At the ceremony, about ten citizens from various sectors will read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, reflecting on the value of human rights.

In addition, during Human Rights Week, various cultural events such as a human rights promotion campaign, human rights film screenings, human rights policy forums, human rights education and special lectures, and the Busan Human Rights Culture Festival will be held at venues including BEXCO and the Busan Cinema Center. A human rights quiz event using Busan City's official social media (SNS) will also add enjoyment to the week.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, "As Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that all human beings are born free, with dignity and equality, I hope Human Rights Week will be an opportunity to reflect on the precious value of human rights and to consider that others also have the right to be respected equally as myself." He added, "We will continue to strive to ensure that human rights permeate the daily lives of citizens."
