At the time of the Declaration's adoption by the General Assembly in 1948, Eleanor Roosevelt said, "In giving our approval to the declaration today, it is of primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the basic character of the document. It is not a treaty; it is not an international agreement. It is not and does not purport to be a statement of law or of legal obligation. It is a declaration of basic principles of human rights and freedoms, to be stamped with the approval of the General Assembly by formal vote of its members, and to serve as a common standard of achievement for all peoples of all nations."
Why the hell isn't it a treaty, a binding agreement, or law?
1948-2026.
Any administration could have made it to permanent.
Why sign off on a worthless, unenforceable document? Symbolic gestures don't prevent atrocities.
Make it a treaty and let's see how many nations sign off on it.
Most likely, it'll be just like the ICC.
The lesser evil is evil.
Outlaw the one lever.
Take the party name off the ballot.
Force voters to know who they vote for.
