Are human rights being eroded?

How important is it to uphold human rights?

Human Rights Day takes place on 10 December, at a time when the issue is making headlines around the world.

The US has denied claims that it tortures terror suspects in 'secret CIA prisons', and human rights groups have questioned the legitimacy of Saddam Hussein's trial in Iraq.

Last year, the UN Human Rights Commissioner, Louise Arbour, said the two biggest threats to Human Rights were armed conflict, and a 'confused' response to the threat of terrorism.

Are civil liberties under threat? Have you seen abuses where you live? How can human rights be upheld? And what poses the biggest danger to human rights around the world?
