Human rights movements the world over have a major role to play to guarantee peace and the survival of the world. But, argues Dr. Willy Mutunga, Executive Director of the Kenya Human Rights Commission the dangers that the human rights movements face have to be confronted head on. "This confrontation is only possible if the national, regional and continental human rights movements become powerful, vibrant and acquire a mass following. Such movements will strengthen the international human rights movements that are important pillars in facing the challenges posed by the enemies of human rights. The human rights movements the world over are the only engines for social justice. And it is for these reasons that the movements face mortal danger in the context of the war on terrorism."
