[Celtic Party] "Progressive measures"

"Incidentally, I'm very conscious of the fact that on July 31st 2008, almost SIXTY years after the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights came into existence (on December 10th 1948), I don't know of a single school or college (anywhere) which makes -- or ever has made -- any attempt whatsoever to meet the "teaching" and "education" commitments referred to in the excerpt below." ================================= "Progressive measures" (To Sceptic at Wed Jul 30, 2008 22:41 above) by EU Source Thu Jul 31, 2008 08:09   I subscribe to the "progressive measures", and to the "teaching" and "education" commitments contained in the United Nations excerpt from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provided below: "Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction. " The full text of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS can be found at: http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html Incidentally, I'm very conscious of the fact that on July 31st 2008, almost SIXTY years after the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights came into existence (on December 10th 1948), I don't know of a single school or college (anywhere) which makes -- or ever has made -- any attempt whatsoever to meet the "teaching" and "education" commitments referred to in the above excerpt. There continues to be far too much "talking the talk", and not nearly enough "walking the walk" coming from our leading politicians and lawyers perhaps? -- regarding this core-issue matter of the basic human rights of individual human beings being responsibly respected by our "trusted public servants", and the United Nations Member States (and bodies) which they represent. It's small wonder maybe that the overall world situation regarding human relationships is still in the extremely sickening and dangerous mess it's in (for so many people) at the present time?
