Check out this article in the Saturday 28th June edition of the Irish Times newspaper. Joseph O'Connor, a renowned Irish writer, responds to Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as part of a series in association with Amnesty International to mark the 60th anniversary of the declaration.
ARTICLE 1
