Human Rights day marks a life-enhancing uplifting charter

Today is International Human Rights Day and marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

This uplifting charter, where it holds sway, stands between individuals and communities and the kind of barbarisms inflicted on the people of Syria, Yemen, the Rohingya living in Myanmar and, despite how Israel’s champions argue, the ghettoed people of Gaza and too many of Israel’s own citizens.
