Abstract: Creating an enforceable international guarantee of basic human rights Outlines the basics of a universally acceptable agreement Shows what everyone can do to make this agreement a reality In 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a deeply inspiring document that has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects.

ایجاد یک ضمانت بین المللی قابل اجرا برای حقوق اولیه بشر، مبانی یک توافقنامه قابل قبول جهانی را تشریح می کند. به بیش از 300 زبان و گویش ترجمه شده است. اما چون مقررات آن قابل اجرا نیست، وعده آن محقق نشده است. نقض حقوق بشر در هر گوشه ای از جهان ادامه دارد و علت فجایع فردی بی شمار و همچنین بلایای بزرگی مانند جنگ، فقر و ویرانی محیط زیست است. زمان برداشتن گام بعدی فرا رسیده است. 2048 یک هدف رویایی، جسورانه، اما، کرک بوید، قابل دستیابی را تعیین می کند: تهیه پیش نویس یک توافقنامه بین المللی قابل اجرا که به مردم جهان اجازه می دهد تا یک نظم اجتماعی مبتنی بر حقوق بشر و حاکمیت قانون ایجاد کنند. هدف بوید و پروژه 2048 این است که این توافقنامه، کنوانسیون بین المللی حقوق بشر، تا صدمین سالگرد اعلامیه جهانی برقرار شود. اسناد مکتوب همیشه نقش کلیدی در پیشبرد حقوق بشر داشته اند: قانون حمورابی، مگنا کارتا، اعلامیه استقلال. هدف صریح کنوانسیون بینالمللی حفاظت از آنچه بوید پنج آزادی مینامد، افزودن آزادی محیطزیست به چهار آزادی معروف فرانکلین روزولت است: آزادی بیان، آزادی مذهب، آزادی از نیاز و آزادی از ترس. بوید به طرز ماهرانه ای اعتراضات به مفهوم یک توافق نامه کتبی جهانی و قابل اجرا را پیش بینی می کند – که از نظر فرهنگی غیر حساس است، بسیار گران است، حاکمیت ملی را به طور غیرقابل قبولی محدود می کند – و قانع کننده به آنها پاسخ می دهد. در واقع برخی از اولین گام های امیدوارکننده قبلا برداشته شده است. او توافقهای فراملی موجود را با مکانیسمهای انطباق مؤثر توصیف میکند که میتوانند به عنوان الگو عمل کنند. اما بوید بیشتر از بحث و جدل می خواهد الهام بخش باشد. در سال 2048 او همه را ترغیب می کند که در تهیه پیش نویس توافقنامه از طریق وب سایت 2048 شرکت کنند و اقدامات خاصی را توصیف می کند که مردم می توانند برای کمک به تحقق آن انجام دهند.؟ با آنچه می خوانید چه می کنید؟ بوید می نویسد، به اندازه آنچه این کتاب می گوید مهم است. کم کم، با همکاری خلاقانه با ابزارهای موجود، میتوانیم گام بعدی رو به جلو در تکامل حقوق بشر برداریم. بیشتر بخوانید… span>
