Depending on what is required to be a host or moderator or whatever it's called, I may be interested. That's us of course if you all would want or need the help.

I'm just sending out messages to the others that expressed interest.

Can you please tell me where I watch for further discussion? Just in this group?

Don't want to volunteer then miss things.

It was recommended to me that we take a look at some of the other groups mission statements to get an idea how we could put ours together. I have gone through and just randomly picked out some. If you know of some better ones, please reply to this post and copy paste them with a link.

Economic Activism and Progressive Living

Statement of Purpose

End corporate control of our government and media though targeted product and service boycotts and the redirection of our personal finances.


Woman's Rights & Issues

Statement of Purpose

This group is a place for members to discuss all issues affecting women in the U.S. and globally. Our goal is to keep this forum friendly, polite and respectful. If you agree with the necessity of women's rights advocacy and believe in furthering the legal & cultural rights of women then this is the place for you.

Often human rights are aspirations rather than legally enforceable rights.

I would like to get a group mission statement going pretty quickly.

Also to add what you are talking about we could look at different types of human rights declarations that have been drafted. For instance there is one in the European Union that I studied when I took at class on EU law on Coursera (I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested. I believe they have classes on human rights from time to time. I'd take it but being a graduate student and studying Korea as well as working full-time doesn't leave me much free time at all).

Some good stuff has come out of here: http://www.echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=home

I am not good for much except emails and letter-writing. But I would like to be in the group. Thanks.

Very interesting thread!

I really dropped the ball on this one. It's been 7 months and I've done nothing. I was in the mist of finishing my dissertation at the time this discussion took place.

I am still very interested in doing this.
