Bob Geldof's appeal to end poverty in Africa and the scale of support he received.

The list of human rights which people have claimed has expanded over the years as societies face new threats and challenges. For instance, we are very conscious oday of the need to protect the natural environment and this has generated demands for rights to clean air, water, sustainable development, and the like. A new awareness about the changes which many people, especially women, children or the sick, face in times of war or natural crisis has also led to demands for a right to livelihood, rights of children and the like. Such claims express a sense of moral outrage about infringements of peoples’ dignity and they also act as a rallying call to people to try and extend rights to all human beings. We should not understate the extent and power of such claims. They often invoke wide support.
