UDHR Posters

As part of the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Mexico, UNESCO and a local museum the Memoria y Tolerancia, held a posters exhibition illustrating the 30 articles of the Declaration with the support of the Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México.

The posters were created by Juan Manuel Hernández Montiel, the winner of a contest organized by OHCHR Mexico and UNESCO in 2007. 

The posters, which help promote the UDHR trough artistic expression, have also been exhibited in other events organized by OHCHR Mexico.
