Going Blue: Human Rights Watch has arranged for 24 landmarks across the globe to shine bright blue on December 10, 2017, to celebrate Human Rights Day, the organization announced today. From New York to Sydney, Taipei to Toronto, the world will glow blue in solidarity with the global human rights movement and the principles and values that Human Rights Watch works to defend throughout the year – like human dignity, nondiscrimination, and justice for all.
