Passed by United Nations, 1948

It’s an anniversary!  60 YEARS THIS DECEMBER!

Have Americans always had equal rights? How about the right to vote?

One right sometimes conflicts with another right

Should the “right to bear arms” (the 2 nd Amendment) prevent citizens from the right to be safe from criminals who use guns?

Many believe that by protecting the rights of people all over the world, we make the world safer and more peaceful for our nation as well as for others.
