Sample response:The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written by the United Nations to protect all people everywhere. The simpli ed version of Article 2 describes it as “Don’t Discriminate.” One of the main ideas of this article is that no matter what you look like or what you believe, you are entitled to these rights. The r sentence of the article says, “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without di inction of any kind.” Another main idea of this article is that everyone should be treated the same regardless of where they are from and what is going on there. The second sentence says, “No di inction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international atus of the country or territory to which a person belongs.” Article 2 ensures that everyone, everywhere is entitled to these human rights.
