32. CONCLUSION
 In spite of raising worldwide awareness , basic human
rights are being violated enormously in third world
countries. These countries hold little to no respect for every
person’s basic rights given at birth. Role of UN human
rights organizations and other protectors and promoters of
human rights should be more specific and more practical
to make a better world Because “It’s not enough
to talk about peace. One must
believe in it. It’s not enough to
believe in it. One must work at
it”____ Eleanor Roosevelt
