Ár gcearta, ár dtodhchaí anois díreach. Inniu Lá Idirnáisiúnta Chearta an Duine. Is inniu a dhéanaimid ár machnamh ar an dul chun cinn a rinneadh agus a aithnímid go bhfuil bearnaí ann go fóill. Déanaimid comóradh inniu, nó is ar an lá seo tá sé bliana is seachtó ó shin a síníodh Dearbhú Uilechoiteann Chearta an Duine. Sa 1948, bhí an domhain faoi léan i ndiaidh ar fhulaing sé d’uafáis bharbartha. I ndiaidh chrá agus phian an Uileloiscthe, tháinig ceannairí domhanda le chéile lena rá: "Choíche arís". D’fhógair siad na cearta doshannta a bhfuil gach neach daonna ina dteideal, beag beann ar chine, ar reiligiún ná ar náisiúntacht. Rinne siad é sin i ndúil is nach mbeadh aon ghrúpa daoine faoi leatrom choíche arís. Bheadh comhionannas, dínit agus saoirse ag gach duine. Ar an drochuair, níor chomhlíon an domhan na gealltanais a rinneadh ag an am sin, agus is maith is eol dúinne an dochar a dhéantar nuair a shéantar cearta an duine. Tá easpa ceart sa Tuaisceart: níor comhlíonadh na gealltanais a rinneadh sa bhliain 1998 go fóill, agus tá an beagán ag séanadh bhille na gceart ar an mhórán. Ar fud an domhain, tá cearta daoine leochaileacha faoi ionsaí gach aon lá. Is ar Gaza, thar áit ar bith eile, a smaoinímid agus ar mhuintir na Palaistíne, atá faoi chinedhíothú le níos mó ná 14 mhí. Fiú roimh an 7 Deireadh Fómhair bhí siad faoi fhorghabháil. Caithfimid bheith ag súil le níos fearr, ach caithfimid obair ar a shon. Caithfimid ár gcearta dár dtodchaí a bheith againn anois díreach.
