Jewish Invention Myths: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Jewish Invention Myths: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Our next ‘jewish invention’ is yet another case of a jew plagiarising the work of a non-jew then claiming it as their own and then trying to ensure that history remembers them for the work of that non-jew.

This is the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and the jews claim as follows:

‘René Samuel Cassin – Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Lawyer René Cassin was one of the main authors of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Based on a list of rights drafted by Canadian law professor John Humphrey, Cassin prepared the first complete draft of the text, creating its structure and including the preamble and core principles.’ (1)

Cassin – a jewish lawyer, academic and a close confederate of Charles de Gaulle’s ‘Free French’ for whom he drafted the legal states of ‘Free France’ and later the President of the ‘Alliance Israelite Universelle’ – didn’t in fact write ‘the first complete draft of the text, creating its structure and including the preamble and core principles’ but rather this was the Canadian academic and lawyer John Humphrey. (2) Cassin even acknowledged this at the time in 1947-1948. (3)

However, by 1958 Cassin had changed his tune and began to dishonestly claim that Humphrey’s work was his own as Morsink explains:

‘Comparing the Humprey and Cassin texts I found only three completely new articles: 28, 30, and 44. Cassin took all the other ones either in whole or in part from Humphrey’s so-called outline. He did what he was supposed do and – through the marginal notations – gave Humphrey the credit he deserved. By my rough calculation three-quarters of the Cassin draft was taken from Humphrey’s first draft.

Cassin clearly overstated his role when in a 1958 lecture he explained he had been “charged by his colleagues to draft, upon my sole responsibility, a first rough draft” of the Declaration. Humphrey was right when he went public in his memoirs with something he had known all along, namely that “Cassin’s new text reproduced my own in most of its essentials and style.” Since so much of the Cassin rewrites came directly from the original Humphrey draft, it makes no sense to say that Cassin ever made an independent draft of the declaration.’ (3)

What Morsink is saying here – in classic reserved academic prose – is that Cassin added very little in his second draft to what became the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and while he originally (and correctly) credited Humphrey’s first draft in the marginal notes of his 1947-1948 second draft, but 1958 Cassin had begun to outright lie about his role in drafting the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and claimed all of Humphrey’s work as is his own engaging in what amounts of plagiarism.

It is all the more calling because Humphrey didn’t out Cassin at the time but instead simply corrected the record in his memoirs – published in 1984 – and left it at that while Cassin falsely claimed Humphrey’s work between 1958 and his death in 1976.

Thus, we can see that not only is the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ not a ‘jewish invention’ but rather the jew credited with ‘inventing it’ by other jews (Cassin) in fact knowingly stole the credit from a non-jew (Humphrey) and passed it off as his own work for nearly two decades.
