The Preamble of the Declaration recognizes that the truth «of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable
rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.»
The centrepiece of the UN Nations Charter is the connection between the recognitionof the inherent
dignity of all members of the human family (and of the inviolable and inalienable human rights which derive from that recognition) on the one hand, and peace and justice within and among nation states on the other.
This is certainly obvious in terms of widening the area of human co-operation — in uniting families into peaceful communities with equitable distribution of responsibilities and privileges, and then creating from these the larger communities of states and nations, and finally developing from these a world society dedicated to the fullest
realization of every member of the human family.
Our national self - image as moral, well - behaved and global citizens who recognize the «inherent dignity, equality and inalienable rights
of all members of the human family» is dogged by scepticism, hypocrisy, apathy and empty promises.
In the words of the Universal Declaration, this moment is a test — for the nation - of how truly we believe in the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights
of all members of the human family.
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights
of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world...
I know that I want to live in a world where each person is valued, and where the inherent dignity
of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
