The U.S. takes lead on UN Secrurity Concil
 * During April the U.S. will be taking control over the presidency in the UN Secur5ity Concil. Because they are a perminate member of the UN Security Concil. This gives them the perminate member veto. There are four others that also get this veto. They are Brittan, France, Russia, and China. They all enjoy having the perminate member veto.The U.S wants to take stock of global efforts to prevent terrorism nuclear proliferation and reinforce member state's that are responsible for those threats.

**Opener: What Does it Mean to be Human ????**

//**Read the comments of Eleanor Roosevelt, Chair of the UN commission that drafted the UDHR, on the importance of universal human rights standard**// s:

//Where, after all, do universal rights begin? In small places, close to home – so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.//

Eleanor Roosevelt The Great Question, 1958 Rights that every person in the entire world should have. These are there human rights that can never be taken away or thretened. I think that it is possible to have Universal Rights, every human in the world has rights and there is universal rights. It is rights that everyone in the world has the right to have. But some people might not think the same way so you could never have universal values because everyone will see these values differently so it might not never work. This is a good goal might might never be achived.
 * ===‍** 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? **===
 * They use universal because universal is like a timeless feture so thesse right will be there forever. This is to catch the eye of people becausse now universal is a wormer word **
 * ** These are values and belifes that we have to teack where we work, pray, and live. Without this we could never get this done at an universal level. **
