The Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan announces traditional journalistic writings and children's drawing competitions on the occasion of December 10, International Human Rights Day. 

Given that one of the goals of the UN SDGs is to combat climate change, and that 2024 is declared in Azerbaijan as the “Green World Solidarity Year”, and that our country will host the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN FCCC (COP29), the present year, the theme of both competitions is “Climate Change and Human Rights”.
