 <description> &lt;p&gt;Dear all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to share with you the second co-chair text of the future &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;glossary#term118&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;UN: United Nations&quot;&gt;UN&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;glossary#term51&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Human Rights: Privileges claimed or enjoyed by every human being by virtue of being human. The concept developed from the Roman idea of &amp;#039;natural law&amp;#039;. Early milestones in establishing human rights include the British Magna Carta (1215), Habeas Corpus Act (1679) and Bill of Rights (1689). None of these were as fundamentally comprehensive as the US Bill of Rights (1788) or France&amp;#039;s Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789). During the nineteenth century, human rights began to be enshrined in international law, best illustrated by the Geneva Conventions, a series of treaties which governed the humane treatment of civilians, soldiers and prisoners during times of war.
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948. It stated that people have the right to life, liberty and education; to freedom of movement, religion, association and information; to a nationality and to equality before the law. Many nations still deny their citizens basic rights. &quot;&gt;Human Rights&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Council. See the attachment.&lt;br /&gt;
Shall you have any question or comments, please do not hesitate to contact &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:program_coordinator@paxromana.org&quot;&gt;me&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regard,&lt;br /&gt;
