I don't think that's true.
I'm specifically talking about the top-down rather than democratic or collaborative imposition of moral frameworks.
Though the creation of this document was ostensibly democratic - though, without proper international participation in my opinion - it was mandated by the board, which dooms it from the start, regardless of the content (which I largely agree with, save for the focus on empathy over correctness, which I find ideological).
- jolux 6y agoWhy do you keep acting like these are somehow purely western standards that nobody else agrees with or cares about? Human rights are valued by the UN. I don’t think it’s wrong to believe in a universal set of values. Ultimately even the US Constitution is an elite document written by elite people. This sort of thing is inevitable, history is a power struggle even when it results in more liberated outcomes.
