Human Rights

by Matt

Boing Boing has a post today regarding a stellar vizualization of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights done by Seth Brau. Well worth a watch, and even better is the high quality version at www.humanrightsactioncenter.org.

It was a forming moment for me, looking back, when I discovered that there was such a thing as a universal declaration, and that was essentially an international law….that most governments (including my own) ignore when it suits them. Shortly thereafter, Noam Chomsky might have noticed a sharp spike in book sales 😉
