GENEVA - Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah stressed that access to human dignity and respect is just as important as access to education, medicine and technology.

“The right to human dignity is non-negotiable. The world’s great faiths and philosophies all draw strength from the same core belief that dignity is intrinsic to humankind as a universal birthright,” Queen Rania said at the 28th International Conference of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent Societies in Geneva.

(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department - Geneva) Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah accepted to be the Swiss Red Cross Honorary Overseas President, addressing an audience of 400 policy and decision makers at the Red Cross fundraiser in Geneva.
