Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a vital document to the future of our world. Read it and you will see that if the governments of the world followed this document to the letter, we would not be seeing the types of unrest that are occurring in the world today. Terrorists are created by oppression and ignorance. If the money spent on wars and weapons were directed toward implementing every part of the UDHR in every country in the world terrorism would disappear.

Youth For Human Rights Website


The Youth for Human Rights website has recently been revamped. It looks great.

Education in human rights is vital to the future of our world and Scientologists are very active in this field.

The Use of Force

I was listening to a recorded lecture of L. Ron Hubbard today and he said something which I think applies to many world situations and the methods being used to handle them. He said that the use of overwhelming force only gives a short-term win but never gives a long-term win.

I thought how right that was: just look at Iraq, the US "won" the war but is still trying to extricate itself from the mess.

In the same lecture Mr. Hubbard talked about long-term wins coming from the intelligent use of intelligence combined with force (intelligence as in cleverness, not spies). The American Revolution was an excellent example of that.
