To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, send us 100 words arguing the case for a particular human rights champion. You could choose someone from our tribute to human rights champions in our flagship magazine New World, or a woman, man or group you think is conspicuously missing.

One entry will be chosen, and the submitter will win a free copy of The Oxford Handbook on the United Nations, edited by UNA-UK Executive Director Sam Daws and Professor Tom Weiss of City University, New York. The winning entry will also be published in New World and on our website.

‘Human Rights Hero’ submissions should be sent to Natalie Samarasinghe at samarasinghe@una.org.uk or to her at UNA-UK, 3 Whitehall Court, London SW1A 2EL. Deadline for submissions is 9am on 24 November 2008, with the winner being presented with their prize at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London on 1 December 2008.
