[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76460819, member: 342064"] I wasn't really talking about just codification. The codification means that the principles were already around and they were further developed and finally put into law to hold some authority. But my point was that these principles were for the most part being human respect and equality were already around for a long time as the article says, since ancient times. For example in 539 B.C Cyrus the Great brought in the idea of equal rights, racial equality and the freedom to choose religion. The Cyrus Cylinder which records this is widely recognised as the first Human Rights Charter. [URL='https://www.humanrights.com/course/lesson/background-of-human-rights/the-background-of-human-rights.html']The Background of Human Rights[/URL] If we applied this to science we could say that throughout history science facts or determinations have changed therefore there are no scientific facts. The logic doesn't follow. But if we were to say that morality has progressed for the better over time then this would have to mean there was some objective that allowed us to measure what was better and what was worse independent of realtive/subjective views. The authority comes from these Rights and laws. They are reasoned as being an inalienable right and cannot be denied. They stand regardless of the relative/subjective views of individuals and cultures. [/QUOTE]
