The '''Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities''' is a framework that complements the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]] by articulating the ethical obligations that accompany human rights.

== Description ==

The Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities project stipulates:

<blockquote>
"The scope and irreversibility of the interdependences that have been generated among human beings, among societies, and between humankind and the biosphere constitute a radically new situation in the history of humankind, which has changed it irrevocably into a community of destiny."
</blockquote>

An ethics of the state of crisis, an ethics of responsibility can hence only be planetary. When humankind's very future is at stake, the ethics of responsibility gives rise to an obligation to human existence: "man must be" and lead a life worthy of being called human.
