Semi-protected edit request on 21 March 2018: § Significance and legal effect, Section "Legal effect", 3rd Sentence: Citations

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I needed the proper citations for an assignment. So I looked them up. I would be pleased if someone would change § Significance and legal effect, Section "Legal effect", 3rd Sentence:

For this reason, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a fundamental constitutive document of the United Nations. In addition, many international lawyers believe that the Declaration forms part of customary international law and is a powerful tool in applying diplomatic and moral pressure to governments that violate any of its articles.

UNDR Voting Map

The Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) were not the same... the map gives the impression that either communist China did not exist (it did) or that the Republic of China had (filtered) over the mainland (it did not).

I can see from the map that it is not very reflective of the time period in general... I think the whole map could be vastly improved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:8BDA:B100:213E:62:E1BA:6D4A (talk) 03:17, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

It looks like somebody took a post-2011 map. There are borders where there shouldn't be (some parts of africa, yugoslavia). Martinkunev (talk) 07:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
This map is absolutely cool. It's neither a current map nor a 1948 map. The countries in the Caucasus are already there for some reason, but not those in Central Asia or the Baltics, even though all of them were part of the Soviet Union. How is Yugoslavia divided in six? What's up with Africa? But Czechoslovakia is there though.
However, China is a problem. The vote was on 10 December 1948, and the PRC was only proclaimed on 1 October 1949. So China simply includes both the Mainland and Taiwan at that time. De wafelenbak (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
