This Friday, June 29, at 8 am (PT) & 11 am (ET), it's time for WCAT's "The Open Door."
Let's return to our discussion of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. On its 70th anniversary, the Declaration calls for understanding and action. This week we'll begin discussing Articles 13-15, especially in light of the ongoing crisis on our southern border.
Article 13.
(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.
(2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.
Article 14.
(1) Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.
(2) This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Article 15.
(1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
Later in the hour, we'll talk about the results of the American Solidarity Party's recent convention.
