Sixty years ago, the United Nations took a moral stand against human rights crimes and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a proclamation of thirty rights that belong to us all, starting memorably with Article 1: “All human beings are born free and equal.” Now, an array of internationally acclaimed writers have chosen one of the thirty rights as the inspiration for a short story.
