Human Rights Education

Churches of Scientology hold that the rights articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UHDR), if applied broadly, will not only lead to a massive reduction of human rights violations across the world, but will significantly vanquish the simmering resentments that cause racial and religious conflicts - and are used for recruitment by terrorists. But any human rights charter, no matter how noble in its aspirations, has no practical use unless it is known, understood and applied. Believing, therefore, that greater awareness of the UDHR will lead to greater exercise of its principles, churches of Scientology have for many years made human rights education a priority.
