private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic

Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal declaration of Human rights.
When the United Nations established its Human Rights Commission in
February
16, 1946 out of concern for victims of World War II, Eleanor Roosevelt was
chosen to chair its effort to draft a Declaration of Human Rights. Her
selection as leader of this endeavor was particularly appropriate because
of
her commitment to refugee issues. The commission's mission was to create a
do***ent that might help to prevent another such war and serve as a model
for how human beings and nations should treat each other. The General
Assembly of the United Nations adopted the resulting Declaration on
December
10, 1948.
The world adopted them in 1948. When will AmeriKKKa?
