Declaration of Rights

A society in todays world that needs a declaration of rights is the Syrian population. They have been brutally attacked by their government who's job is to protect them. This situation is fairly similar to when the crown was ruling over the colonies in America. In both instances the ruling government abused their power to maintain their power. To keep any type of revolution under control the government would attack their own citizens to stay in control. In Syria the ruling power is shelling it's citizens and in the 1700's the crown attacked the colonies when they declared independence.
