As Main Paineframe kind of alluded to, I think we should also consider the merits of the UDHR itself. Representatives from 18 states wrote it, and only 48 states voted in favor of it in 1948, and of course nations not represented by powerful states were neither consulted nor included in the voting process. Is education actually universally important for a high quality of life, or is it highly important to us because that's what it "guarantees" in our societies? As they proved in their behavior during the process of passing the UDHR, Saudi Arabia's leaders believe that a strong faith in Islam is the key to a high quality of life in their society, and to some degree they are correct. Also, I understand OP's good intentions in trying to exclude the past's stories of assimilation, but the present is just the latest in history. Excluding history is excluding all reason.
