"Universal Declaration Of Human Rights Is The Law an Immediate Hit
Dec. 10, Berkeley:
On Human Rights Day, MCLI issued its 4th Little Book with Eleanor Roosevelt's picture on the cover holding a large copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The book has been an immediate success: As I enter the California State Assembly, I will carry in my pocket 'The Universal Declaration of Human Rights Is the Law.' It will serve as a critical guide to help me identify the language of treaties ratified by the U.S. that contain specific rights declared in the UDHR, Bill Monning, Member of California State Assembly, 27th AD
The inspiring concepts in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have become the law of the land that we can use in our daily work. That is the message of this handy new book by Ann Fagan Ginger. As we face the problems of 2009 and 2010, we can carry with us this little book and quote the treaty language to declare and enforce our rights, Bruce F. Knotts, Executive Director -- Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office
"Wherever I go and show the Little Blue Book -- UN-A, US Labor Against War, UUSC, Sierra Club / Greens -- people want to get a copy for themselves, and 'Oh, I better get one for my son/daughter,'" Ann Ginger reports.
The book is the first to prove language in three treaties the U.S. has ratified that turn the U.D.H.R. "declarations" into enforceable law.
Bonus: FD Roosevelt's very timely but little known "2nd economic Bill of Rights" is in the Appendix.
