The Universal Declaration of Human Rights integrates civil, political, socioeconomic, and solidarity rights, emphasizing that all rights are fundamental and cannot be relegated to secondary status based on cultural relativism. At the end of the Second World War, values expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were deeply entrenched in anti-fascist movements across Europe, which disturbed US elites aiming to create a different world order.

The three foundational systems of world order established after World War II are the Human Rights Regime, the International Political Order articulated in the United Nations Charter, and the International Economic System, often referred to as the Bretton Woods System.

The US has significantly violated both civil and political provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as highlighted in recent Amnesty International reports.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was dismissed by some as a "collection of pious phrases" and as "a letter to Santa Claus" by Jeane Kirkpatrick, Reagan's UN ambassador, who criticized its socioeconomic provisions.

Two pillars of world order have been effectively demolished, serving only as ideological weapons, yet people should still defend and fight for these ideals, as they are not the end of the road.

The US alone vetoed the right to development, which closely parallels the socioeconomic provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, effectively rejecting these ideals.

The conflicts over the principles of world order constitute a significant part of modern history, particularly post-Cold War history, and should be analyzed as such.

The narrative of World War II has been shaped by the power dynamics that shifted after 1945, affecting how historians interpret events leading up to the war.

Despite the darkness of the 20th century, the majority of people are good and seek peace, which gives hope for the future of human civilization.
