Greetings all! Please consider this general comment section to be an open invitation. Perhaps a painting can best be done by a single artist – not so with a Global Bill of Rights. Welcome and thank you!
Great addition
the idea of a global bill of rights is excellent
but even though human rights are universal, interdependent and interrelated, we have a list here — and the list implies a hierarchy — maybe we should talk about the order of the rights
Alfred’s suggestion is a good one. We should consider the order of the rights in the document. This will be on the agenda for our meeting in Geneva in March, 2019. The Drafting Committee will also vote on suggestions for changes to the wording of Articles as well as the addition of articles.
As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the adoption by the General Assembly of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948, we pause on Article 28 of the Declaration and reaffirm our commitment to create the environment for the enjoyment of all human rights without discrimination and to establish the necessary enforcement mechanisms both nationally and internationally.
On this 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I applaud this effort !!
