Article 1- All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
====** ﻿ ﻿ ** ====

I believe that this Article of the UN Declaration of Human Rights is the most important because it states that "**All human beings are born free and equal..."** this is important because we would not like it if we had to live in an injustice way. This is also important to me because when i look at the people who are treated without respect, they tend to have no hope of living because they do not believe that they will ever be trusted with respect that they should receive. This article also links to Martin Luther King Jnr. speech, "**I have a dream".** This speech is about treating with people with respect, equality and freedom.

Aboriginal Charter of Rights

We want hope, not racialism, Brotherhood, not ostracism, Black advance, not white ascendance. Make us equals, not dependents. We need help, not exploitation, We want freedom, not frustration; Not control, but self-reliance, Independence, not compliance, Not rebuff, but education, Self-respect, not resignation. Free us from mean subjection, From a bureaucrat Protection. Let's forget the old-time slavers: Give us fellowship, not favours; Encouragement, not prohibitions, Homes, not settlements and missions. We need love, not overlordship, Grip of hand, not whip-hand wardship; Opportunity that places White and black on equal basis. You dishearten, not defend us, Circumscribe, who should befriend us. Give us welcome, not aversion, Give us choice, not cold coercion, Status, not discrimination, Human rights, not segregation. You the law, like Roman Pontius, Make us proud, not colour-conscious; Give us the deal you still deny us, Give goodwill not bigot bias; Give ambition, not prevention, Confidence, not condescension; Give incentive, not restriction, Give us Christ, not crucifixion. Though baptised and blessed and bibled We are still tabooed and libelled. You devout Salvation-sellers; Make us neighbours, not fringe-dwellers; Make us mates, not poor relations, Citizens, not serfs on stations. Must we native Old Australians in our land rank as aliens? Banish bans and conquer caste Then we'll win our own at last.
