On the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. - (UDHR) I quote Oscar wilde more than all the others; he more than anyone would have appreciated this charter . It is just that it is not binding .it is not a law. It is aspirational ; but it is inspirational . You don’t need to read it through. The language is turgid in places. Its meant to endure . After 60 years the wording may seem esoteric .but if you re read it , ask yourself ; how else could this be written to relate to all society. I believe it is written for all the children of the womb of the Universe . But , I will confess that I quote Oscar not only because he is one of the most quoted people in the history of English language . read full story / add a comment
