While non-discrimination is the first condition for absolute respect for human dignity, the world is beset with countless prejudices.They, unfortunately, hinder the full realisation of individuals’ potential, and thus are not in the interest of society as a whole, Kovind said, as per a communique from the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

“This day (Human Rights Day) presents us with an opportunity to reflect upon what it means to be a human being, and our role in enhancing the basic dignity of humankind,” he added.

According to the President, there are a number of human rights that every person has a right to under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

They are universal rights that all people have, and they do not discriminate based on their ethnicity, gender or nationality.The Declaration recognized basic human dignity, a principle that has been part our spiritual traditions for many millennia.

The President said that on this day, the world should also debate and discuss the ‘Right to Healthy Environment and Climate Justice’.

“The degradation of nature is leading to irreversible changes in climate and we are already witnessing its harmful impact.The world is waking up to the harsh reality, but it is yet to build the resolve to make decisive change.We owe it to our children that we save Mother Nature from the worst effects of industrialisation.The time is running out,” he said.

The President was pleased to see that India had taken initiative at home and at the recent global climate conference.

This would help in the restoration of planet health.
