Human Rights in the United Nations

Abstract

“They meant simply to declare the right, so that enforcement of it might follow as fast as circumstances should permit. “They meant to set up a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.”
