Less than 5% of the world knows of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights existence. Because passports are the official representation of government, if the declaration is in all passports, it becomes an official documentation of the world.

Military and intelligence experts have said torture is ineffective. It is immoral, illegal and contrary to American values. Tell President Obama that those responsible for torture under the Bush administration must be held accountable for their crimes.
