Fifty years ago, the United Nations General Assembly adopted its
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In recent years however, the
resolve of the UN to abide by the Universal Declaration has waned.
The commitment to protecting human rights as a means for world
stability and peace is at stake as groups of lobbyists seek to
redefine traditional human rights. The editors of this book from
the Family Research Council (FRC) have gathered a collection of
essays from scholars, physicians, politicians, and human rights
activists from all over the world. Each paper offers reflections on
the UN's past performance, as well as ideas for its future role in
human rights protection. The book concludes with reflections by
Alan Keyes, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Economic
and Social Council. He argues that the UN cannot effectively
represent principles of decency and right when it is itself
composed of nations that do not observe decency and right.
