Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Sixty years ago the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a groundbreaking document
recognizing fundamental, equal, and inalienable rights for all
individuals that was drafted at the UN under the leadership of Eleanor
Roosevelt.

Thanks in large part to the Declaration, much progress has been made
in the realm of human rights. Nevertheless, we still have a long way to
go.

In a 21st Century world in which violence, torture, human trafficking,
and even genocide continue to persist, the Universal Declaration
remains a unique and invaluable instrument for promoting universal
respect for basic human rights.

Help commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, and honor the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt, by calling
on President-elect Obama to recommit the United States to the
Declaration’s enduring principles and to work through the UN to
promote human rights.
