On the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we violate articles:

4 – Nobody has a right to treat you as his or her slave.

7 – The law is the same for everyone; it should be applied in the same way to all.

9 – Nobody has the right to put you in prison unjustly or without good reason.

17 – You have a right to own things and nobody has a right to take these from you without a good reason.

23 – You have a right to work, to be free to choose your work and to get a salary which allows you to support your family.

24 – Each work day should not be too long, since everyone has a right to rest and should be able to take regular paid holidays.

(The above are the plain language versions of the UDHR articles, transcribed by www. U60sg.org)
