Has the Russian Government forgotten their proposed wording of an additional Article (31) for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the United Nations on the 10th Dec that year.

They were that, "The human and civic rights and fundamental freedoms enumerated in the present Declaration shall be guaranteed by national laws. Any violation or limitation of these rights, whether direct or indirect, shall be deemed to violate the present Declaration and to be incompatible with the high principles proclaimed in the United Nations Charter".

Although this amendment was defeated by a vote of 48 against to 8 for it, that didn't prevent the Russian Government from guaranteeing those rights "by national laws" for all Russian citizens from Jan 1949 did it?

Perhaps Stalin used it as an excuse for not doing so but he could have taken the 'moral high ground' had Russia enacted laws to do so, when many 'western states' have still not done so.

Maybe all UN Member States are the same, but just wear different labels of Capitalism or Socialism or even Despotism, and the truth is that neither intends to comply with their International Human Rights obligations until the people overthrow all Governments. But they've got all the guns and bombs to stop that, in the name of 'National Security' which is really just their security of tenure not ours.
