The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Read these five clauses from the Declaration of Human Rights. Which one do you think is the most important?
-
The Right to Equality. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.
-
The Right to Trial. If we are put on trial this should be in public. The people who try us should not let anyone tell them what to do.
-
The Right to Marriage and Family. Every grown-up has the right to marry and have a family if they want to. Men and women have the same rights when they are married, and when they are separated.
-
The Right to Freedom of Thought. We all have the right to believe in what we want to believe, to have a religion, or to change it if we want.
-
The Right to Education. Education is a right. Primary school should be free. We should learn about the United Nations and how to get on with others. Our parents can choose what we learn.
