"The
rapid increase of interest in human rights coincides with the rapid
development of information technology. Unless a common and universal
system of communication is evolved, valuable information will be
wasted, existing international machinery will not function, and
implementation not monitored." -- Martin Ennals, HURIDOCS Founding
