2048
Humanity's Agreement to Live Together

All countries signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. This book is part of an ambitious project to make the fundamental human rights in the Universal Declaration enforceable in the courts of all countries by 2048, the 100th anniversary of the Declaration's signing.

The 2048 Project, launched by the author and his colleagues at the University of California School of Law and from which the book gets it's name, is a movement to make the fundamental rights in the Declaration enforceable in the courts of all countries by 2048, the 100th anniversary of the Universal Declaration. The 2048 Project provides education, research materials, a place for drafters to post documents and hosts international conferences on human rights. "2048" tells how the UDHR came to be written and the origins of the movement to make it enforceable, lays out the five basic freedoms the UDHR is meant to protect and gives detailed advice on what everyone can do to make international human rights a reality.
