Out of danger

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

Cast in the shadow of World War II and Nazi atrocities, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was shaped more by the fear of evil than the expectation of good. Fifty years on, it has become the individual's defence against the excesses of power and, even when challenged by dictators and demagogues, the universal language of human rights everywhere.
