Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen Question

[lacommunarde.livejournal.com]

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.

No, that's the one I mean. There are few speeches in it, at least, if I remember correctly, but you're right, that wasn't really the main point of it. It's a pity. One thing I want to do before I die (and by the time I finish I may well be old enough to die of old age) is to translate all of Robespierre's oeuvre into English. But it won't help anyone who wants to read him now; by the time I'm done, anyone who starts learning French now will have learned enough ten times over to read them in the original.
