[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76458692, member: 342064"] Yeah sorry I meant to say codified into law but then ratified by nations. I disagree that Human Rights had not been acknowledged before they were created. These same prinicples were acknowledged throughout history. Basically human rights are based on principles of equality and fairness and treating people with dignity and value. These same prinicples have been around throughout history in one way or another. For example the US Declaration of Independence had similar principles around 230 years before the UN HR and even to acient civilizations.
