human rights wholesomely, I use this:
The Progress of Nations 27
The day will come when the progress of nations will be judged not by their military or economic
strength, nor by the splendour of their capital cities and public buildings, but by the well-being of their
peoples:
by their levels of health, nutrition and education;
by their opportunities to earn a fair reward for their labours;
by their ability to participate in the decisions that affect their lives;
by the respect that is shown for their civil and political liberties;
by the provision that is made for those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged; and
by the protection that is afforded to the growing minds and bodies of their children.
