	FrontPage magazine.com :: What's Wrong With Human Rights? by Jim Kalb
		The fountainhead of the modern human rights movement is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
		Accordingly, it is no surprise that the most striking feature of U.N. "human rights" documents is their tendency to transfer power from local and private institutions to the experts and transnational elites who write them (and who think it only fitting that they should tell the world how to govern itself).
		Durban, the U.N. Human Rights Commission (with Libya at its helm), and attempts by cultural radicals to advance their agenda under cover of "human rights" are convincing evidence of that.

	The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
		The UN Declaration was inspired by the French "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen," which was proclaimed in 1789 during the French Revolution, as well as by the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1791.
		Article 1 of the UN Declaration says that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." Article 2 states that human rights are universal regardless of race, sex, religion, and nationality.
		How much clearer and sounder it would have been for the UN Declaration to recognize that the indispensable economic rights are not forced redistributions by government but the basic natural right of a worker to keep his or her wage, and the universal human right to an equal share of the benefits of natural resources.
