Wear your rights

The Council of Europe has found an entertaining way of demonstrating that the values enshrined in the text concern us all and deserve to be “displayed”, inviting a number of personalities and unfamiliar faces of different nationalities to be photographed wearing T-shirts showing 15 of the Convention’s rights and freedoms. The personalities appearing include Tomy Ungerer, Abd Al Malik, Roland Mack, Lilian Thuram, Florence Aubenas, Barbara Hendricks, Bianca Jagger, Thorbjørn Jagland and Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, and they are joined by seven youngsters from European associations who have taken part in activities at the European Youth Centre.
