4/27 - Human Rights - Willis

1. HR #1- "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

This is important because without this right, the possibility of slavery recurring and the denial of freedom would be imminent. In a sense, the first human right in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights defines almost all of the other human rights listed below it. I believe that all humans should have the right to be able to do what they want without restrictions that disallow one to be free.
