Violations
Human rights advocates agree that, sixty years after its issue, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is still more a dream than reality. Violations exist in every part of the world. For example, Amnesty International’s 2009 World Report and other sources show that individuals are:
•Tortured or abused in at least 81 countries
•Face unfair trials in at least 54 countries
•Restricted in their freedom of expression in at least 77 countries
