This would risk being added to the hundreds of existing agreements whose application and, above all, sanction are becoming more and more uncertain. It is time to recognize the only real issue: humanity’s responsibility towards itself, towards living species and towards the planet that shelters it.
This is the purpose of the ” Universal Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Mankind ” ( UDHR ), which distinguishes it from other initiatives and makes it both necessary and urgent.
This declaration goes further than previous declarations limited to the recognition of new rights. Proclaiming as many duties as rights, the DDHu reminds us that one cannot go without the other and that the rights of future generations as well as of living species constitute as many duties for present generations.
This declaration is not an additional text on climate or environment, even if in this field all the lights are red. It affirms that there can be no sustainable future for humanity without the recognition of :
– responsibility in the preservation and use of resources,
– intra- and intergenerational equity,
– the humanization of technological progress, in a healthy environment.
This declaration is not a text for the sole use of States that manage short-termism, which in the long term are at best followers rather than forerunners. This text is the only one today that can be signed by all the components of humanityThis is the case for all levels of government, from private citizens to local authorities (cities, regions, etc.), parliamentary assemblies, bar associations (local, national), NGOs, universities and companies concerned about their responsibility.
The universal declaration of the rights and duties of mankind is not an international convention destined to be negotiated between States until it is emptied of all substance and all constraints. It is a simple text, translated into most of the languages used in the world today, which must become a basic text whose principles every citizen, every community, every entity can claim.
Born in the wake of the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, the Universal Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Mankind wants to go one step further.
This is why we, the signatories of the DDHU, call on public authorities, legal entities, organizations of all kinds, and every citizen to join us and allow humanity to adopt this roadmap for its future.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][dt_vc_list]
