It failed. After World War 2 the Allies did the same thing calling it the United Nations  but set it up with more political power and the ability to organize and maintain its own peacekeeper force

We are all born with the same rights and should treat eachother like brothers and sisters. You must repect others and the rules to have human rights. We deserve to have the freedom of speech and the freedom to believe in our religion.

media type="custom" key="14166988" Universal rights is equal opportunity. Every man, worman and child have to be accepted to these rights. We are all born the same way and we should be treated with respect and without it, there will be no peace. No, it is not impossible because people have a choice. If they choose to go against it then that is there opinion. Everyone have different points of view on things and there are some things in the world that people will not all agree on. I think the chose the world "universal" instead of "international" when naking the UDHR because the word universe is much bigger than international. Universal determines everything, including time. These are values and belief system that teaches where we work, pray, etc. If we don't have them then we are just kidding ourself in thinking that we can do it on international level.
 * ===‍** What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "universal rights"? **===
 * ===‍** Some people feel that universal values or standards of behavior are impossible. What do you think? **===
 * ===‍** Why do you think the UN chose the word universal instead of the word international when naming the UDHR? **===
 * ===‍** Paraphrase the final sentence of the quotation. What does it say about individual responsibility for human rights? What do you think Eleanor Roosevelt means by "concerned citizen action to uphold" rights close to home? **===
