In an email on the ifla-l email list Gerald Leitner, Secretary General of IFLA has today demonstrated the vital link between human rights and library and information services.   As we mark the start of the 70th anniversary year of the UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights I am delighted to announce the launch of SpeakUp! - IFLA FAIFE's new blog.  This is yourchance to get involved in the conversation around how library and information services can turn human rights into reality at blogs.ifla.org/faife This is a new FAIFE initiative that will provide a new forum for a discussion about how human rights are central to and inform the development and delivery of library and information services - and equally, how library and information services are central to access to human rights. Please keep an eye on and read the blog regularly - and also consider contributing to the blog to share your views on this vital topic.  Please send any contributions to IFLA Policy and Research Officer Esmeralda Moscatelli  at esmeralda.moscatelli@ifla.org     We look forward to your contribution Martyn WadeChair, FAIFE
