Breastfeeding is a human right, which unfortunately, as with all such rights, has to be fought for. Often these rights are threatened as much in peacetime as in war. I would therefore like to be presumptious and remind Lactnet of the following: Today is a historic anniversary: we are entering the 50th year from the inception of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was proclaimed on 10 December 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. It sets out everyone's rights in the form of a preamble and thirty separate articles, or rights. The Declaration recognizes the inherant dignity and equal unalienable rights of all members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace throughout the world.
