Birthday
Sixty years ago today, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It has been translated into 337 different languages, so you’re sure to find one you can read. Take a look at it.
It’s an extraordinary document whose main theme is basically “Be nice.” I think that’s a pretty good guide to life, and one that I try to life by myself (though my version sometimes takes the form of “Don’t be a jerk”).
That’s a very cool anniversary/birthday to remember.
We celebrated here! It also gave refugees rights and that is an essential element to my work. Thank you for talking about this!
