Dear Pieter and colleagues,

 

Check out the premiere on the Special Rapporteur Alice Cruz's channel: the web documentary "Principles and Guidelines for the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members - From the draft to law in action".

 https://bit.ly/FromTheDraftToLawInAction

The audio-visual project tells a bit of the story behind the elaboration of the Draft set of principles and guidelines for the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members, that accompany the resolution 65/215, which was unanimously approved by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2010.

This web documentary explains what this document means in the context of international human rights, tells the story of how this human rights instrument came to exist and how it was drafted, but also how it connects to the lived experience of the people it protects, bringing together testimonies from persons affected by leprosy and their family members from different parts of the world, who talk about the challenges they faced and still face in order to have their human rights respected.  

Participations (in order of appearance):  Alice Cruz (UN Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members);  Yohei Sasakawa (Japanese Goodwill Ambassador for the Human Rights of Persons Affected by Leprosy and WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination); Shigeki Sakamoto (former member of the UN Human Rights Council Advisory Committee); Ignacio Bastidas Vásquez and Salome (Felehansen - Colombia); Mangala Dhondge (The Leprosy Mission Trust India); Edimilson Picanço (Morhan - Brazil); and Maksuda Begum (Lepra Bangladesh)

The Special Rapporteur Alice Cruz warmly thanks all the people who have generously contributed to this webdocumentary.

 

This webdocumentary aims at contributing to overall human rights education, please share it widely!
