The year 1968 is being ceicbrated throughout the world as the twentieth anniversary year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Two special broadcasts for schools examine the ideals that inspired the Declaration, and the realities that conflict with those ideals in the world and in Britain today.
The programmes are intended to stimulate studies of the places where universal human rights begin: ' Where, after all. do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home — so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world ' (Eleanor Roosevelt) .
