All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Yesterday was the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - the declaration adopted by the UN General Assembly that declares everyone, everywhere, equal. It’s the ultimate international document on how all peoples should be treated - with respect, dignity, and rights. It’s a fundamental piece of writing, because of how powerful it is, and because the UN, an international body containing most nations on the globe, has adopted it as the cornerstone of human rights.
