Talk:Universal Declaration of the Rights of Peoples

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Concepts like "peoples", "the economy", "the environment", and "the state" are abstractions which refer to collections of individual entities. They can not be reified, i.e., are not acting entities, but references to collections of individual entities. When one reifies such a concept as "peoples", one then can fantasize about all kinds of attributes that the group possesses or should possess, even though only individual entities can possess attributes. Thus, all kinds of group rights are asserted by UDRP while permitting the group to dictate to the individual who's natural rights are then violated.

The text, which I added earlier, should be moved to Wikisource as a separate page if it's not already there...my bad freestylefrappe 04:28, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)


Why isn't the context tag needed here? The introduction doesn't say anything about why it was written and what it aims to do. PeepP 11:07, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

You're right. I'll re-add the tag. freestylefrappe 19:09, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

In it's source that declaration is also called Universal Declaration of the Rights of Peoples', like here.? Galant Khan (talk) 17:25, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
