Foreword

The word law finds its roots in the Indo-Germanic, reg-, meaning “to erect, to straighten.” Therefore, the law should serve to help human beings in taking the right action. It should lead human beings to getting along with one another and should regulate the authorities from state to citizen and from citizen to state, or even from state to state. Human rights are intended that people can live!

In 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations issued the “General Assembly of Declaration of Human Rights.” Well, I did not entirely agree with that decree and as we have a right to freedom of speech, I wrote my views about it down.

Any information one receives and puts into his construct of thought leads to the expansion of one’s point of view. Even if the information is not quite as good, or exact, or even wrong, one can still strengthen his own point of view by recognizing the wrong information and by improving things. Through a lively exchange of ideas, one can contribute in finding better principles that lead to a better existence.

Any system of state, law, or religion that disregards reason and the freedom of choice of the people and tries to enforce rules and laws under coercion, violence or manipulation, without appealing to reason and people’s ability to learn, shall be damned! Life itself has its laws, and if people violate these laws, then they are punishing themselves. Forcing human beings to do anything that violates the laws of life degrades their reason and encourages people to do things secretly, even to evade responsibility, thus escaping punishment from the law. It does not lead individuals to admit to their act and to work on themselves, resulting in a different mindset.
