"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this
right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to
seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and
regardless of frontiers." (Article 19 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948)
October 9 is the birthday of John Lennon (1940-1980). Let us remember his voice, his words, his music and his passion, as well as the message of hope and peace that he brought to the world.
