I do think this document was a step in the right direction. If this were a declaration of human rights for western/colonial states, I would have given it more stars. However as a universal document it falls short by only providing a colonial perspective on human rights. It is time for us to create a universal declaration of human rights that takes every Culture's perspective equally. The Bangkok Declaration is a step towards that. If we keep working towards a more equitable world, we might get more equitability (I made up that word, but it should exist, haha).
