An interesting question, looking at this map, is to think about why certain countries were willing to vote for it, and why other countries decided to abstain at the time. These articles are talking about people having the right to participate in a democracy, the right to be equal, that all people are equal. And in many of these countries, people did not have equal rights. You had severe discrimination in places like South Africa. In many of these countries, you did not have a democracy. But there's a broader question here. It's nice to be able to write these fairly idealistic ideas, but to what degree does it have an effect?
