Universal Declartion of Human Rights (2008): n. pag. Web.

Roosevelt’s beliefs is essential in understanding her reason for taking part in the creation.

illustrates her perseverance she had in her efforts to create the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. In fact, it says that she had never been legally trained, but yet she was able to accomplish
her goal.
