They were drafted with the help of representatives of many of the world's largest religions but it was always understood that not every religion's language would be perfectly covered in the wording chosen. It is hoped that you will make the necessary adaptations for your own purposes. Human rights are given by the Author of all life and being, not by human institutions. Therefore they are at the core of religion. Religions see basic human rights as rooted in the Author of all life and being.
Human institutions are human efforts to protect human rights but they are limited instruments.
More is needed. Thus the role of religion and culture. Human rights are not collateral or subsidiary values but match the core concern of religions for human dignity. Religions have found and continue to find common ground in work together with other religions and with all people of good will to bring about a more just and peaceful world where the dignity of all is protected. Even the strongest felt differences in belief and religion are often put aside when the protection of human beings is at stake.
