Anxious to promote the welfare of mankind, Inspired by the care for Men and following up the initiative taken by Mr. E.G. Wells and Mr. Justice Sankey, we have drafted a Polish Declaration of the Right of Man. The idea of. such rights is steadily growing among the fighting and suffering peoples as an ideal which raises Nations beyond.the boundaries of States and irrespective of all political controversies. The group of Poles, who drafted the Rights of Man, intended to mould the English Declaration into one of a more universal char-- acter and suitable for all peoples on the Continent. As we feel the importance of personal liberty, we have consid- ered it necessary to add the rights of States to be independent, and the rights of free men in a free State. As we share with other nations the same territory on which we have lived since time immemorial, we have paid due attention to the rights of national minorities. We cbnsider it necessary to curtail liberty, whenever liberty may prejudice the fundamental rights of Man. Being born of a Nation which was the first in this war to take up arms in the defence of liberty and which is suffering from the most cruel persecutions on the soil of their ancestors, united by fraternity and anxious to do justice, we recognise the Rights of Man as the confession of our faith and the foundation for a . better and happier life for our ovmn Fatherland as well as for all the other nations of the world. The Rights of Man. 1. The Right to life. Equality before the law. Every, man has a right to share the resources of nature and the material and spiritual achievements of mankind. All men are equal before the law., irrespective of sex, race, colour, descent, nationality, religion or opinion. 2. Freedom of thought. Man has a right to free speech and free- dom of the pressi to meeting and associating and to liberty in the practice of his religion. 3. Personal liberty.
