| Summary: | The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, promulgated by the United Nations on December 10, 1948, is one of the key documents in the history of freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. It was the product of intensive work by an international committee of diplomats and public figures (including René Cassin, John Humphrey, Eleanor Roosevelt, Chang Peng-chun, and Charles Habib Malik),1 but among those who not only defended it but inspired it was Jacques Maritain. Beginning in the mid-1930s, Maritain was the author of a number of books, lectures, and essays on the nature of political community, the dignity of the human person, and the centrality of human rights and freedoms. |
