"Progressive
measures" (To Sceptic at Wed

I subscribe to the "progressive measures",
and to the "teaching" and "education" commitments contained in
the United Nations excerpt from the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights provided below:
"Now, Therefore THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims
THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF
HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all
peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and
every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in
mind, shall strive by
teaching and
education to promote
respect for these rights and freedoms and by
progressive measures,
national and international, to secure their universal and
effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples
of Member States themselves and among the peoples of
territories under their jurisdiction."
The full text of
the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS can be found at:

I'm very conscious of the fact that on July 31st 2008, almost
SIXTY years after the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights came into existence (on December
10th 1948), I don't know of a single school or college
(anywhere) which makes -- or ever has made -- any attempt
whatsoever to meet the "teaching" and "education" commitments
referred to in the above excerpt.
There continues to be
far too much "talking the talk", and not nearly enough
"walking the walk" coming from our leading politicians and
lawyers perhaps? -- regarding this core-issue matter of the
basic human rights of individual human beings being
responsibly respected by our "trusted public servants", and
the United Nations Member States (and bodies) which they
represent.
It's small wonder maybe that the overall
world situation regarding human relationships is still in the
extremely sickening and dangerous mess it's in (for so many
people) at the present time?
