Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized.

Article 28 is about hope and aspiration. It is an ultimate goal even if it is only gradually or partially achieved. It gives focus and direction as well as embracing economic, political and cultural diversity; it brings the catalogue of rights together. It is the 'whole', it is about creating global circumstances and conditions in which all the individual rights can be achieved.
The following quote from 'Youth for Human Rights International' holds the essence of Article 28:
“the world I see may sound crazy to you,
but hopefully, some day, you'll see it too…”
Article 28 came about when it emerged that each individual right listed could not practically be accompanied by a corresponding State obligation due to the diverse approach of each State to social policy, none of which could be judged 'correct' or 'incorrect', 'good' or 'bad'. However, 'the mere listing of rights would read as wishful thinking if nothing was said about steps to be taken to make the rights a reality' (Asbjorn Eide).
So, while not being specific, Article 28 reflects State obligations and seeks to ensure that national and international conditions prevail for the enjoyment of rights by the individual.
The following quote (also Asbjorn Eide) was the inspiration for the theme of this body adornment:
'Some might say that Article 28 is a utopian aspiration; it is preferable, however to see it as a vision to be pursued with determination'.
