First sentence: Lessons drawn from the Second World War, especially those concerning the inability of the pre-war international community to prevent the plans of those whose actions tragically affected millions of lives, led political, social, and intellectual leaders to the conclusion that an effective protection of human rights was indispensable if future generations were to be spared a similar experience.
