Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, very similar to the First Amendment in the US Constitution. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. No one may be compelled to belong to an association. And Article 21 is especially interesting. Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country directly or through freely chosen representatives. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
