    Hello Vicki, I’d like to read out Article 14 in Dutch if that’s alright. See you then!

      Hi Maggy,
      that’s great ,thank you; have put a link to the UDHR in Dutch in the list above and here is Article 14:

      Artikel 14
      Een ieder heeft het recht om in andere landen asiel te zoeken en te genieten tegen vervolging.
      Op dit recht kan geen beroep worden gedaan ingeval van strafvervolgingen wegens misdrijven van niet-politieke aard of handelingen in strijd met de doeleinden en beginselen van de Verenigde Naties.

      looking forward to meeting you on Thursday,
      best, Monica

      ΑΡΘΡΟ 13
      Καθένας έχει το δικαίωμα να κυκλοφορεί ελεύθερα και να εκλέγει τον τόπο της διαμονής του στο εσωτερικό ενός κράτους.
      Καθένας έχει το δικαίωμα να εγκαταλείπει οποιαδήποτε χώρα, ακόμα και τη δική του, και να επιστρέφει σε αυτήν.
