Human Rights
Re “Human Rights Era Eclipsed,” Opinion, April 20: It is amazing that an article dealing with the age of human rights does not once mention a major accomplishment of the United Nations: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, passed in 1948.
This document codified in 30 articles what are fundamental basic human rights -- and has been used by countries worldwide. The chair of the U.N. Commission that produced this historic document was our own Eleanor Roosevelt. It would be a real service to our collective understanding if The Times could publish this important document.
