The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948 to reflect the commitment of the international community to prevent any repeat of the atrocities of World War II. Drafted by the Commission on Human Rights, which consisted of 18 members from various political, cultural, and religious backgrounds, it recognizes the value and rights of every individual everywhere. In addition to influencing many subsequent national constitutions, laws, and treaties, it serves as a tool to apply moral pressure on abusive governments. E-text available here.

No time to scour the headlines or watch the news? No problem! We’ve rounded up the top words heard, read, debated, and discussed this week. This was a week of bold moves. Whether you agree with him or not, President Trump gave an audacious speech at the U.N. General Assembly, taking the initiative to emphatically point an accusatory finger at countries like North Korea and Iran. Whether his words will exacerbate tensions and further imperil our relationships with these countries remains to be seen. Football player J.J. Watt was also bold in his charity work, obliterating bureaucratic red tape and raising over $37 million dollars for hurricane victims. Less successful, but just as bold, was the release of the audacious film "Mother!" Also exhibiting initiative was the state of Rhode Island, which decided not to wait for Congress to act to save the "Dreamers" and resolved to pay all the registration fees for the affected immigrants out of state funds. Take a look back at the week that was, vocabulary style.
