Abstract

P. C. Chang was the Chinese delegate in the Commission on Human Rights of the United Nations and one of the most active and influential participants in the writing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the years 1947 and 1948. This article analyzes his contribution to the Universal Declaration and his human rights philosophy. Chang emphasized the universality of human rights and argued for a short, logical, and comprehensible declaration and for a broad understanding of human rights, including social and economic and civil and political rights. Educating people and teaching them sympathy and respect for others was the key for him to realize human rights.
