After the Second World War, the United Nations (UN) adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, commonly known as the UDHR.
The first column (articles 3–11) constitutes rights of the individual, such as the right to life and the prohibition of slavery. The second column (articles 12–17) constitutes the rights of the individual in civil and political society. The third column (articles 18–21) is concerned with spiritual, public and political freedoms such as freedom of religion and freedom of association. The fourth column (articles 22–27) sets out social, economic and cultural rights.

We're seeing instances of injustice all around us, from the US to Libya, Egypt to India, Italy and many more.
I'll post the cases of injustice that have happened or are happening on the home page weekly, starting from October, under the label, 'Ignorance No More', so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
