About Human Rights Day

Human Rights Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2026 it falls on a Thursday; in 2027 it’s on Friday 10 December, and in 2028 on Sunday 10 December. Also in December 2026: International Anti-Corruption Day (9 Dec), National Pastry Day (9 Dec) and International Mountain Day (11 Dec). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
