In the spirit of Edification, and because it will eventually be relevant to one of my favorite projects, I present to you Selections from the Conventions that Most of the Civilised World Recognises.
"Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, ..."
"Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, ..."
"Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge, ..."
"
Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Article 20.
(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
(2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association.
"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnnnnnd HOME STRETCH
"
Article 30.
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.
"
I can spell mine out. And have good justification for saying that most of the civilised world recognises them.
Perhaps some other participants in this forum would care to define /their/ notion of "Conventions that Most of the Civilised World Recognises", and justify?
