Radio 1812 for International Migrants Day on 18th December
----------------------------------------------------------
Did you know that December 18th is International Migrants Day?

It was designated by the UN in 2000 - on that date in 1990 the UN General
Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the
Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (read the
Convention at http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/45/a45r158.htm )

Radio 1812 (http://www.radio1812.net) is a one day global radio event for
International Migrants Day.

It is organised by December 18 (http://www.december18.net ), an
