Hvem skrev bogen de forenede nationer og menneskerettigheder?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Verdenserklæringen har fået ros fra en række fremtrædende personer. Den libanesiske filosof og diplomat Charles Malik kaldte den "et internationalt dokument af allerstørste betydning", mens Eleanor Roosevelt - den første formand for Menneskerettighedskommissionen (CHR), der udarbejdede erklæringen - udtalte, at den "kan meget vel blive den internationale Magna Carta for alle mennesker overalt". I en tale den 5. oktober 1995 kaldte pave Johannes Paul II erklæringen "et af de højeste udtryk for vor tids menneskelige samvittighed", men Vatikanet vedtog aldrig erklæringen. I en erklæring af 10. december 2003 sagde Marcello Spatafora på vegne af Den Europæiske Union, at erklæringen "sætter menneskerettighederne i centrum for de principper og forpligtelser, der præger forbindelserne i det internationale samfund".

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration has received praise from a number of notable people. The Lebanese philosopher and diplomat Charles Malik called it "an international document of the first order of importance", while Eleanor Roosevelt—first chairwoman of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) that drafted the Declaration—stated that it "may well become the international Magna Carta of all men everywhere." In a speech on 5 October 1995, Pope John Paul II called the Declaration "one of the highest expressions of the human conscience of our time" but the Vatican never adopted the Declaration. In a statement on 10 December 2003 on behalf of the European Union, Marcello Spatafora said that the Declaration "placed human rights at the centre of the framework of principles and obligations shaping relations within the international community."
