drafting of the universal declaration of human rights
van dun sees human rights as fundamentally different from the "universal declaration of human rights". according to him when you have a right you have a right. therefore, human rights are, e.g., the right of self-determination for one's own life, liberty and the products of one's liberty (property) and call these rights fundamental rights. this is not the case in the "universal declaration of human rights". he sees the "universal declaration of human rights" equivalent to "animal rights", since the rights enumerated in the "universal declaration of human rights" are sometimes conflicting with each other and many of these rights are only valid insofar as legislation of the government is not contradicting it. therefore, he sees rulers which are acting as masters of the "human" animals (i.e. "slaves") in the "universal declaration of human rights".
