Human Rights and Democracy
“The belief in the equal worth of each human being, and the desire for people to have sovereignty over their own lives is not only enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is lived out in all corners of the world.”
David Miliband, Aung San Suu Kyi lecture, Oxford, 12 February 2008
