Largest book of signatures

Amnesty International gathered over 10 million signatures from 125 countries in its one year long Get Up Sign Up campaign pledging support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The signatures were compiled into a book and presented to Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, in Paris on the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1998. Nobel Laureate and leader of the Burmese opposition Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was the first person to sign the pledge, which reads: "I will do everything in my power to ensure that the rights contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights become a reality around the world." Customers of Body Shop stores in 34 countries contributed three million thumbprints to the campaign pledge. These thumbprints were turned into portraits of human rights defenders and are part of the 10 million pledges collected in all.
