A DENIAL OF BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS - TERRORISM

The "Turkish Association of United Nations" (Birleşmiş Milletler Türk Derneği) is a non-govemmental organization devoted to the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter. That organization shares the belief that human rights is a part of the common hcritage of mankind. Although one may acknowledge that the formulation of human rights in societies vvith JudeoChristian and Renaissance traditions vvas significant, one should not assume that the non-Western societies do not have the capacity to rise above the level of enlightened authoritarianism. The conception of human rights can develop in ali societies, and has indeed done so.
