As I have said, democracy is in a doldrums except in few societies belonging to the advance economies of the world. Even in these societies, narrow parochial views about
the superiority of their own cultures over the other are symptomatic. Holding
on to the ground of economic and military superiority they preach values of
human rights and democracy to the rest of the world. In turn, to maintain this
superiority they make alliances with nations where democracy and human rights
may be in dire state. They support dictators or democracies according to their
own strategic necessities. When it is necessary to get supply of resources of
other nations, or they need access to military bases, which may be beneficial
for their economic and military dominance, they change allegiance to democracy
and dictatorship as opportunistic means. Except in very few countries, like for
example, the Nordics, the preaching of democracy and human rights have become
hypocritical means to find ways to control the political rivals. The capitalists use it to fervently counteract the advancement of socialism and communism in countries where they have military or economic interests.

The instruments of human rights and democracy developed by the UN as Declarations of Civil and Political Rights, and Declaration of the Cultural Social and Economic Rights
are the only mechanisms which inspire the Civil Society today to engage in
spreading information and building awareness about democracy and human rights in
the world. These Declarations are results of a political tug-of-war between the
capitalist and the socialist camps. So the elements of these Declarations  are an amalgamation of individual rights where capitalist interest are preserved, and the rights of the people where the collective rights of the poor and the disadvantaged are guarded against capitalistic exploitations. They are highly politically motivated and used by
both camps as means to furthering their political influences in the world.

The Declarations builds a ground for all people and cultures to claim their rights equally with all others and inspire minority culture to engage in a political battle to free
them from the hegemony of the majority. On one hand it stimulates the growth of
the political rights of the minority which, instead of forging understanding
and harmony among different conflicting groups, tend to splinter the cohesion
necessary to build a society of peaceful coexistence. Similarly the
Declarations also provide the contrary view and profess the rights of the
people and nations before the narrow interests and cultures of minorities. They
argue that by this way one may guarantee the security to people as a whole. It,
in turn, can be abused as means to annihilate minority traditions and cultures
and encroach on their resources in an undemocratic manner.

By declaring all human beings are free and equal in a world, while freedom does not exist for the majority of mankind (in the way I have explained), and equality is only a
statement of utopian nature which has no resonance in real life for more than
99% of mankind (except in Scandinavian), the UN builds on the ideas of freedom
which have little substance in reality. By declaring the civil liberties, without any moral guidance to follow, and professing rights of all cultures and people to practice their traditions and beliefs in the way they wish, the international community promotes the problems and challenges I have mentioned. I repeat again: It does not provide any moral guidance and project any vision of how to resolve conflicts and forge harmony among individuals, nations and cultures. It does not profess the necessity of higher evolution of man, and point to any particular path for building an enlightened world. By declaring that all religions, beliefs, traditions and practices enjoy the same rights to
develop without giving any warning about the misgivings which they may produce,
the UN declaration appears to open a stage for competitions that will generate
more chaos than bring peace.
