A reflection on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and how the recently deceased Augusto Pinochet systematically violated them. Unfortunately, in too many ways, the Declaration seems to remain largely an aspiration in most countries.

Update: A short history of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Interestingly, in addition to the United States, Chile, Iraq, and Iran were among the signatories.
