4/27 - Human Rights - Janice

1. HR #2- “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.”(http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/)
This Human Right is the most important out of all 30, because it basically explains that everybody is equal no matter what race, skin color, sex, religion, etc. Even though a lot of people are harassed because of what they believe in, this Human Right assures them that there is absolutely nothing wrong with their beliefs.
