When reading the Universal declaration i found it interesting that all of the ideals tend to represent mostly westren ways of thinking. Many of the articles laid out directly contrast with some of the countries who agreed to abide by this code, most notably the Soviet Union which at this time was operating under Stalinism/Communism. many of these articles violate laws that were place during Stalin’s rule. such as article six which states that everyone has the right to own property which of course is not in accordance with communist beliefs which state that property belongs to the state and that the people must share everything. Also Article 17 which mentions freedom of religion again contradicts the communist ideals which were that religion should be eradicated. At the time the UDHR was created religion was currently outlawed in the Soviet Union. However it is also interesting to note that although many of the articles contradict the communist belief system others strongly support the ideals such as everyone has the right to equal pay which is one of the main points of communism, as well as all men should be treated equal this again is essential in the communist belief system. However under Stalins rule almost every single one of these articles were broken as Stalin had created his own warped version of communism. So despite the heavily westren views that are represented in the UDHR it is vague enough that almost anyone can agree with at least one article.
