Abstract
Human rights are rights that each single one of us has fair by the truth that we are people but it wasn't like that continuously. We didn't always have those rights. A part of time, battle and numerous battles had to pass for these rights to begin being recognized and regarded. In her speech, “The Struggle for Human Rights”, Eleanor Roosevelt uses many rhetorical devices to show how the United Nations is trying to enforce a Declaration to different countries to make sure people’s rights are not affected or lost. As the chair of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, Eleanor was the driving force in creating the 1948 charter of liberties which will always be her legacy: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
