Eleanor Roosevelt

Roosevelt's human-rights universalism has been criticized from the post-colonial Left as a Western imposition wearing universal dress, and from the sovereigntist Right as undermining national authority. The 1948 Declaration's survival and continued normative authority across both critiques is the principal evidence for the drafting committee's achievement.
