Rita Ora has joined a host of celebrities to reimagine the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on its 75th Anniversary in a campaign with Choose Love x Smiley.
Taking to TikTok, the hitmaker, 34, took part in the ‘For Our Family Human’ films which aim to raise awareness for this important international document that enshrines the rights and freedoms of all human beings.
The star was joined by huge stars including actors Dame Judi Dench, Olivia Colman and Jude Law, and Spice Girl Melanie C.
Facing the camera, Rita recited Article 28 as she said: ‘To fully recognise this declaration across every nation and border, we shall all be entitled to a social and international order.’
The first installment of ‘For our Family Human’ launched on October 28 with British actress Nazanin Boniadi.
The following series of films has since gone viral with over 200million views to date as an array of high profile supporters each narrate a video modernising the original text of 30 articles.

Other celebrities to take part include Annie Lennox, Sabrina Elba, Vicky McClure, Rick Astley, Adam Hills, and Laura Whitmore.
The original Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was signed 75 years ago in December.
It was a milestone in history that enshrined the rights and freedoms of all human beings – that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights regardless of nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status.
The films aim is to encourage everyone to reconnect with the original articles in a contemporary way.
They are hosted exclusively on the positive news platform Smiley News, aligned with its vision to inspire positive change in society.
They also aim to inspire people to re-imagine the world they want to live in, feel optimistic about the future and be empowered to be part of the solution.
The emotive rhyming couplets in the films have been written by award-winning writer and director Dan Cadan and the films are supported by Art for Human Rights and led by human rights activist, barrister and producer Bill Shipsey.
The campaign will also raise awareness and funds for Choose Love through the sale of co-branded merchandise, including Choose Love x Smiley branded T-shirts, sweatshirts and tote bags.

The charity supports its mission to do whatever it takes to bring refugees and displaced people dignity, hope, respect and humanity.
Last month Choose Love announced they have teamed up with rental platform Hurr as celebrities offered their outfits to rent to the public to raise funds for the charity.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Gemma Chan and Nathalie Emmanuel are among 13 celebrities whose looks will be available to wear.
Fashion rental platform Hurr has joined forces with humanitarian aid organisation Choose Love to create a capsule collection of pieces anyone can rent.
The outfits have been picked from the wardrobes of some of the counties chicest stars, including Billie Piper, Lily James and Cush Jumbo.
Other famous faces whose pre-loved garments will be up for grabs include Clara Amfo, Bel Powley, Nicola Coughlan and Michelle Dockery.
The collection means fans will be able to wear their favourite celeb’s pieces to festive parties for a fraction of the retail price.
Hurr has confirmed that 100 per cent of the proceeds will be going to charities to help refugees across the globe.
