The development of this article is on my to-do list: do not merge. Gareth Hughes 22:40, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Gone on for quite long enough, that has. I'm going to remove the merge header. –Hajor 22:08, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)'t

I don't understand this statment, "Because the UDHR holds the world record as the most translated document (with more than 360 language versions available)" when, in fact, the Bible has over 2500 translations? CrummyVerses (talk) 15:07, 11 December 2011 (UTC)Keith RoperCrummyVerses (talk)[reply]

Need update 2 External Link

The external link to the HR Day site goes to info for 2005. I can't find UN/2006 HR page ... how about you? rewinn 19:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

somebody has done it. XavierV 22:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Spoken article

One of the reasons to include spoken articles is that "(T)hey are a valuable learning tool for non-native English speakers and those that don't speak it at all. Having a large number of examples of how words are pronounced can be important." The speaker mispronounces "enunciation" as /ɪnʌŋˡkeɪʃn/. Should the entire recording be dumped?

Human Rights?

In this article the section entitled "Human Rights" seems very random and does not seem to fit with the rest of the article, and the reference to India seems totally out of left field....anyone agree?216.179.3.166 (talk) 01:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a thought …

Just as a thought, I know the article links to the UN’s external text of The Declaration: but does Wikipedia reproduce that text?

It strikes me as being possibly a handy thing to do …
