Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Articles 22-28)


What is this? Is it in the US Constitution, the only document of law under which I live? (you know what I mean)

Because if it is some sort of UN bullshit or something..... it aint American law.

Right to health care means you can't be turned away. It doesn't mean it's free.

Subject got me thinking if health care is a right or not so I looked it up on Wikpedia. That is what I found.

Does it also provide a unversal right to ponies and ice cream?
I could get on board with free ice cream.

On second thought, it's not like they'd be pumping out Ben and Jerry's.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (abbreviated UDHR) is an advisory declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (A/RES/217, 10 December 1948 at Palais de Chaillot, Paris). It consists of 30 articles which outline the view of the United Nations General Assembly on the human rights guaranteed to all people. Eleanor Roosevelt, first chairwoman of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) that drafted the Declaration, said, "It is not a treaty...[In the future, it] may well become the international Magna Carta..."[1]

Bleh. I think everyone just felt really guilty after letting two massive wars in a forty year span. It reminded them too much that most of the world's population just can't get along.

There are no such thing as natural rights. Nature is a bitch. Nature is death and mayhem and killing your neighbor to steal his food to feed your starving children.

The only rights that exist are those you are willing to carve out and fight for. And if you lose the will to fight, someday someone will come along who will revoke those rights.

Thank you, Thomas Hobbes. Not that that's a bad thing.
