| Article 19- Universal Declaration on Human Rights | ||
| 19.1 | Universal Declaration on Human Rights | |
| The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights is one of the greatest documents of human history. Written in 1948 and updated several times since, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights defines the essential and inalienable rights of all human beings. | ||
| However, since that great point of enlightenment following World War II, the world itself has changed dramatically and now member states are individuals are finding themselves faced with difficult questions of biothics, drug control, privacy and personal security rights versus war against terrorism. | ||
| Since its inception, it has been both the moral authority and responsibility of the United Nations to guide the world in matters concerning the principles and complexities of human life, free from religious division and extremes. It is therefore the moral and righteous responsibility of the United Nations to once again consider the framework provided to the world concerning matters of human rights and issues. | ||
| Therefore, the Union agrees to be be a signatory to the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, subject to the document not contravening what are believed to be the rights as listed under universal principles of this constitution. | ||
