The year 2008 would always be a memorable one to activists in the world due to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reaching 60 ever since its adoption by the United Nations in 1948.

The remarkable anniversary could not go be ignored and no wonder in Tanzania,    Legal and Human Rights Centre [LHRC] in collaboration with TGNP, SAHRINGON and other human rights organizations, braved their way to climb mountain Kilimanjaro from the 22nd to the 27th. The event took six days and nights where climbers fearlessly sought their way through the Marangu route carrying with them an engraved wooden human rights memento and a copy of the UDHR to the top [summit] of the mountain 5895 meters above sea level to symbolize the need to uplift the standards of human rights protection in Tanzania and the world in general.

The unique event was designed, coordinated and supervised by the LHRC and professionally documented by Kilimanjaro Film Institute with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The event will always stand as a tribute by LHRC to those defending for the rights of the weak. The audio-visual documentary was launched on 9th December and televised locally and internationally from 10th December 2008 and is available at the LHRC head offices in Dar es Salaam.
