Hello everyone,
Although very much off topic, I would like to thank Abhas Kumar Jha for
posting the Amnesty International Pledge supporting the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. This year is the fiftieth anniversary of this
important document.
It is particularly appropriate, I feel, that the message has been posted
today on November 11th -- Remembrance Day. Here in Nova Scotia, the whole
province virtually shuts down in remembrance. Most stores, businesses and
all government offices are traditionally closed.
I have been a member of Amnesty for over 15 years and would ask fellow
listmembers to consider adding their names to the millions who have already
done so.
In peace and remembrance,
Peter
