In the introduction of her book, Inventing Human Rights by Lynn Hunt (2007) she draws attention to works that were prosecutors to the Universal Declaration for Human Rights which were adopted by the United Nations in 1948. Thomas Jefferson made evident natural human rights in an official document creating an enigma and The French revolution Declaration of the rights of man and citizen states that all men are born with equal rights.
The Declaration of the rights of man and citizen drafted in 1789, states all men are born with equal rights, declaring no priest, king or noble is better than any other man. Also in The Declaration of independence in 1776 when first drafted by Thomas Jefferson went sentence restructures by interchanging “sacred and undeniable” with “self-evident”. This word is controversial to Mrs. Hunt because something so evident as human rights should not have to be part of a document. In current time, we face the problem that all men are born equal no matter sex, religion, cultural background and immigration status. We should not be separated or questioned of our basic human rights of peace and equality.
