The French Revolution: 1789-1799
France is the first country in the world to have a civil revolution. The French Revolution (1789-1799) is one of the most important events in human history. On August 26, 1789, it introduced the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, proclaiming liberty, equality, the inviolability of property, and the right to resist oppression. It is Influenced by the doctrine of “natural right”; the rights of man are held to be valid at all times and in every place. And this document inspired in large part the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
French Peace Walk “We Are One!”
On May 24th, about 200 youths gathered in front of the Ibis Hotel in Paris, and the Eiffel Tower, France’s representative landmark, in commemoration of the 6th anniversary of the Declaration of World Peace. HWPL hosted this event. Also it was supported by renowned international organizations such as, AIESEC in France and Regards de Paix.

“I really liked to feel the power of youths who are longing for peace and I never knew that there were so many youths who wanted to have peace like this.”

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!
We all should work as one to achieve World peace.
French people, they love fighting for their rights, so passionately. They’re joining the movement to achieve peace, also passionately. I love their spirit.
This is tremendous work. The next step is to urge all 193 heads of state to help sign and ratify the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) as international law at the United Nations this September.
