We should believe, we should not lose our faith in the capacity of human beings to act correctly," concludes Lasso. Human beings are to be respected, they are equal in dignity and in rights as the declaration says in the first article. But we should try to understand the reasons of the other: why the regime, the totalitarian regimes act in a way. I do not think that we should be permissive in order to accept violations.
Lasso continues: "If you see human rights through the lens of communism, probably you see them in a different manner when you see them through the eyes of democratic governments. UN member states still differ on what the Universal Declaration even means. José Ayala Lasso, first UN human rights commissioner says: "Yes, it is an impossible mission to try to guarantee the effectiveness of all human rights: social, economic and political, cultural, even the right to development of the whole people of the world." But there was no UN human rights chief until the Cold War ended in the 1990s.
