The Elders and their partners hope to use the Every Human Has Rights campaign as a platform to "empower global citizens to protect the first-ever comprehensive agreement on human rights among nations" [http://theelders-news.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#9126433279383212134] and realize the declaration's aspirations.
