Statement of President-elect Obama on Human Rights Day

In recognition of Human Rights Day (10 Dec), President-elect Obama released the following statement today: The United States was founded on the idea that all people are endowed with inalienable rights, and that principle has allowed us to work to perfect our union at home while standing as a beacon of hope to the world. Today, that principle is embodied in agreements Americans helped forge -- the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions, and treaties against torture and genocide -- and it unites us with people from every country and culture. When the United States stands up for human rights, by example at home and by effort abroad, we align ourselves with men and women around the world who struggle for the right to speak their minds, to choose their leaders, and to be treated with dignity and respect. We also strengthen our security and well being, because the abuse of human rights can feed many of the global dangers that we confront -- from armed conflict and humanitarian crises, to corruption and the spread of ideologies that promote hatred and violence. So on this Human Rights Day, let us rededicate ourselves to the advancement of human rights and freedoms for all, and pledge always to live by the ideals we promote to the world. Dear all, Please do write to Mr. Obama and urge him to take immediate investigation of Mind Control abuse and torture.

  • The vast majority of people are always willing to think: We should work to focus on the needs of the vast majority of people, small number of vulnerable and weak groups of individuals can be neglected.
    But people forget that the vast majority of people are able to enjoy the most basic rights, their contradictions are not extremely sharp.
    The small number of vulnerable and weak groups, as vulnerable, have been deprived over with most basic rights which other people are able to enjoy. They often face with the problem represents the most acute social contradictions. Their needs should be the most important.
  • I have already done so and been sent lots of differing literature from his campaign manager. He even sent me a missive concerning the inaugeration, inviting me (as well as anybody) attend. My prayers are with Obama and his organization. I hope he proves to be all he's craciked up to be. God bless you all! And Happy Holidays! :0)
