A study of the historic role played by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in helping to bring about compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proposed by Eleanor Roosevelt and adopted 50 years ago. Shows how NGOs helped sensitize mankind's conscience about human rights violations, and describes their creation of mechanisms to bring about implementation of the Declaration, laying the groundwork for the destruction of the Soviet empire and South Africa's apartheid system.
