  • The United Nations is a system of privileges without individual rights. The United Nations’ “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” should be called the “Universal Declaration of Human Privileges.” Every “human right” is a privilege owned by the United Nations. Article 29 states, “These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”
  • Modem-day totalitarian systems
  • are collectivist systems of privileges without individual rights. Everything, including all life, is considered a “special privilege” owned by government.

  • There would be no protection from a government with unlimited power to distribute, modify and rescind privileges.
  • ing Fathers recognized that if citizens believed individual rights came from government (not from our creator), then our rights would become a worthless “special privilege,”

    This article was fascinating to me because it seems a great commentary on what is a "right" and what is a "Privilege." I feel in the USA the difference between these two are not understood. This writer does a good job of explaining how to define each and who holds the power of each.

    The website has a lot of activities and tasks that a teacher can use in her class as per the context and level of the learners. It is easy to navigate. The website also contains a link to a blog by Larry Ferlazzo on 'Understanding our basic human right'. Students and teachers can join the blog for further discussions.

    In this website, you'll find great ideas to teach human rights, each lesson plan depends on which level you are going to choose. There are other activities; but I strongly recommend you to use those lesson plans.

    I looked at this resource and there are many many detailed lessons that get at human rights, such as ways in which all people are alike. How we see ourselves and others, etc. It is a United Nations publication and you are free to use it as you like.

    One of the most comprehensive sites on human rights around. Contains current human rights reports on most countries and articles on human rights violations worldwide. This is a really useful site for those who want to deepen their understanding of human rights issues. The site contains a lot of videos, photos, some statistics and testimonies. Without doubt teachers can offer their students to work together on a project "Human Rights" in order to raise their awareness of the issue. In addition, teachers can use the site to teach university students how to analyze and synthesize material.
