Carls latest project is THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE UNITED NATIONS PROJECT.
After World War II, the worlds leaders created the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a means to re-establish the democratic values and standards that are the basis for human rights throughout the world, and to prevent the possibility of mankind ever suffering again, as it had during that time. As of today, representatives of virtually every nation in the world have ratified this document. However, despite the fact that it guarantees human rights and a decent life for every citizen on this planet, almost 97% of the worlds population is unaware of its existence.
The projects goal is to create a game for all artists, entertainment executives and art patrons of the world to promote the message and the values expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Thus, through their creations, connections and donations create a civilization without Human Rights abuses, without war, and without insanity. Says Urbin we will achieve this by creating Human Rights Festivals for movie, music, art as well as by creating a portal like ebay to promote the project and to educate the individual and the world about Human Rights."
