Human Rights

 
Many people would be surprised by some of the atrocities that take place around the world every day. Infringements include people trafficking, substandard living conditions, murder, torture, racism, crimes against religion, and many others. The UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read, and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
