Why do some people call for reform of the structure of the UN? What problems do they see? Some people believe that certain powerful nations have too much power/control in the UN. They want changes to make it more democratic, so that all nations have an equal voice in solving world problems. 9. What are human rights? Why do some states resist a universal international human rights standard? Human rights are fundamental and absolute rights that every human being possesses, regardless of national laws or cultural traditions. Some of the fundamental human rights, as expressed in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, include the right to life, liberty, security, sufficient standard of living, equality under the law, education, freedom of movement, and freedom of thought and religion. Some argue that beliefs in individual liberty and equality originated in the West, and are not shared or valued by other cultures, particularly those with strong communal traditions. Basically, not all countries agree to what human rights should be. 10. Look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights table on page 19. List two rights from the Universal Declaration that also appear in the amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Then list two that do not appear.
