Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen Question

As "on June 18, 1948, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights adopted its International Declaration of Human Rights," I figured today would be a good day to ask this. I hope it isn't too off topic...

Which Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen - the one from '89 or the one from '93 - has more similarities with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948?

I personally think that the one from '93 does, but I'm curious to know what other people think.

I would agree that it's probably the Declaration of 1793. Robespierre's project for a declaration might be even closer on some points. I'd have to make a detailed comparison to say for sure though.
