Adapted from Ho Chi Minh's Vietnamese Declaration of Independence, Hanoi, September 2, 1945 CE, with substantial paraphrase.
"All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights; among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. This immortal statement was made in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776. In a broader sense, this means: all peoples on the earth are equal from birth; all peoples have a right to live, to be happy and to be free. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of France states: All men are born free and with equal rights. Nevertheless, for more than eighty years, the French imperialists, abusing the standard of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, have violated our Fatherland and oppressed our fellow citizens. They have deprived our people of every democratic liberty. They have built more prisons than schools."
