The Universal Declaration of Human Rights turns 59 today. That wonderful document (some of which I'd change and or add on to, myself) many nation states tout but violate CONSTANTLY.
Here are a couple of my favorite articles that the United States constantly violates.
Happy Birthday Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Article 9.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Article 23.
(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
(4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
