In 1948, in a global effort to ensure that the inhumanity of the Second World War would never happen again, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)was passed and adopted by the United Nations without a single dissenting voice. 

Colm O’Gorman, Executive Director of Amnesty International Irish Section, in association with RTE Radio 1’s Drivetime programme, broadcast a series of radio columns, one dedicated to each article of the Declaration, to bring this historical and foundational document to life, demonstrating how central and relevant it is to our everyday lives.

Article 3: Everyone has the right to life and the right to live in freedom and safety
Imagine a world where stopping to play with a can by the side of the road can cost you your legs and your cousin his life. Colm O’Gorman speaks about meeting Soraj, a 17-year-old survivor from Afghanistan who is playing a pivotal role fighting for an international treaty to ban the use of cluster bombs.
