ABSTRACT
The drafters of United Nations Charter never speak of the seven human rights as being inalienable or inherent in the human beings that have them. This chapter presents a short list of nondiscrimination items, which is the only explicit way the UN Charter gives content to the idea of human rights. There is too much nondiscrimination language in the Charter of the UN to say that the Communists introduced this principle into the drafting process of the Declaration. Though the deliberations about the Declaration began in the spring of 1946, the problem of the colonies did not arise until a year and a half later in the winter of 1947. The chapter discusses the drafters’ view and votes on the right to use a minority language in courts of law. If women are to have human rights in their own persons and as the individuals that they are, they must not only have them only as homemakers and mothers.
