The question that faces us at the start of a new millennium is how long we can go on talking about rights without simultaneously focusing on the individual's obligations.  Maybe we need a new universal declaration.  Perhaps the time is ripe for a Universal Declaration of Human Obligations.  It is simply no longer meaningful to talk about rights without simultaneously stressing the individual state's, or person's, obligations.
