Title |
John Peters Humphrey: Canadian Nationalist and World Government Advocate
|
Abstract |
The McGill University-educated John P. Humphrey (1905-1995) was the author of the first draft of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He was also a McGill law professor in the 1930s and 1940s. The author points out that while Humphrey's role in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was significant, it comprised only a brief period in his life. Prior to his time at the UN, Humphrey was an adamant Canadian nationalist who argued for a strong, united Canada. At the same time, he was highly critical of international organization and argued for a federal, world government.
