Part II - The UN regime on human rights
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 June 2010
Summary
To change people's mentality, that cannot be done in one generation, it takes many generations and you have to start in the cradle and work your way up through the kindergarten. The trouble is we all think in terms of one human life. One human life is too short a term. I'm now past 85 and I've worked on this problem 60 years. It's a long time but I'm just beginning to scratch the surface. I've seen great progress during my lifetime but you can't expect to change the way people think in one generation. (Nuremberg prosecutor, Ben Ferencz.)
