Report of the 2014 International Human Rights Day Commemorations - 10th December 2014 Amphitheatre, Bulawayo iv. Banners Eight (8) banners were produced and displayed during the commemorative march. Each banner carried a message focused on a specific Thematic Working Group (TWG). The thematic banners carried messages emphasising on human rights issues that need attention and action by the state, key stakeholders and the public at large in protecting, promoting and enforcing human rights in Zimbabwe. Two other banners were produced specifically for the leading and following pack of participants leading and anchoring the rear of the procession, respectively. In addition, a giant banner capturing the theme for the commemorations was displayed on stage within the venue for the commemorative event. In addition, participating organisations had their own banners. The banners had a huge impact on raising awareness of fundamental human rights and freedoms enshrined in Chapter 4 of the Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Rights (UDHR) and other Regional and International Treaties and Conventions.
