The concert celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and took place 10 years on from the groundbreaking ‘Human Rights Now’ tour, at the Palais Omnisport de Paris-Bercy in France on December 10, 1998.
The year 1988 marked the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The aim of the Concerts for Human Rights Foundation World Tour, featuring performances by Tracy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Peter Gabriel and Youssou N’Dour at venues in 19 cities from London to Buenos Aires, was to raise world consciousness of human rights and of the plight of political prisoners world-wide.
