Although Russell was dying of lymphoma and the pair met in person only three times , they managed to collaborate on the song . Origin of the title ( edit ) In 1884 , James Wells , Moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland , in his book The Parables of Jesus tells the story of a little girl carrying a big baby boy . Seeing her struggling , someone asked if she was n't tired . With surprise she replied , `` No , he 's not heavy ; he 's my brother . '' In a 1918 publication by Ralph Waldo Trine titled The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit , he relates the following anecdote : `` Do you know that incident in connection with the little Scottish girl ? She was trudging along , carrying as best she could a boy younger , but it seemed almost as big as she herself , when one remarked to her how heavy he must be for her to carry , when instantly came the reply : ' He 's na heavy . He 's mi brither . ' '' The first editor of Kiwanis magazine , Roe Fulkerson , published a column in September 1924 carrying the title `` He Ai n't Heavy , He 's My Brother '' , the first use of the phrase exactly as it is rendered in the song title . In the 1940s , the words , adapted as `` He ai n't heavy , Father , he 's my brother '' , were taken as a slogan for Boys Town children 's home by founder Father Edward Flanagan . Chart performance ( edit ) The Hollies ' recording , which featured Elton John on piano , was released in the UK on 1 September 1969 and on 1 December 1969 in the US . `` He Ai n't Heavy '' reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 7 in the US . The song , paired with rarity `` Carrie '' , was re-released in late 1988 in the UK following its use in a television advertisement for Miller Lite beer . It reached the No. 1 spot in the UK chart for two weeks in September 1988 . Neil Diamond 's version of the song , recorded for his Tap Root Manuscript album , went to No. 20 on the Billboard `` Hot 100 Singles '' chart in late 1970 . The Osmonds covered the song on their 1970 album , Osmonds , as well as on the B - side of their chart - topper `` One Bad Apple ; '' the song is a staple at their concerts . Olivia Newton - John covered the song on her 1975 album `` Clearly Love '' , and it was released as the B - side of the single `` Let It Shine '' / `` He Ai n't Heavy , He 's My Brother '' in January 1976 ; the single went to number one on the US Easy Listening ( adult contemporary ) chart and number thirty on the Billboard Hot 100 .

The song went on to take the coveted Christmas number one position for 2012 on the UK Singles Chart , beating The X Factor winner James Arthur , who was number one the previous week . Background ( edit ) After the News International phone hacking scandal , members of The Farm along with Pete Wylie and Mick Jones of The Clash performed at an anti-The Sun concert at the Liverpool Olympia in September 2011 . Following this they formed The Justice Tonight Band and toured the United Kingdom and Europe for the next year in order to raise awareness of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign . Initially , the idea was to re-release the 2009 single `` The Fields of Anfield Road '' by The Liverpool Collective featuring The Kop Choir ; however , this idea was rejected by Peter Hooton as only a relatively small number of people would buy it . Inspired by Everton 's Hillsborough tribute on 17 September 2012 , the song was played at Goodison Park prior to their match against Newcastle United . It was then decided that a re-recording of this song by various artists including The Justice Tonight Band would be released as the charity single . Keith Mullen of The Farm recruited Guy Chambers to produce the single and with Chambers offering free use of his Sleeper Studios to record the song . On 25 October 2012 , Steve Rotheram , Guy Chambers and Kenny Dalglish announced plans of the single to be recorded by various artists such as Robbie Williams , Rebecca Ferguson , Paloma Faith , Beverley Knight , Melanie Chisholm , Holly Johnson , Mick Jones , Glen Campbell , Peter Hooton , Chris Sharrock , Glenn Tilbrook , Ren Harvieu , Dave McCabe , Paul Heaton , Hollie Cook , Jon McClure , John Power , Gerry Marsden , and two original members of The Hollies , Bobby Elliott and Tony Hicks .

Drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human rights - wikipedia Drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human rights Jump to : navigation , search John Peters Humphrey The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was drafted from early 1947 to late 1948 by Drafting Committee the first United Nations Commission on Human Rights . Further discussion and amendments were made by the Commission on Human Rights , the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations . Members of the Commission who contributed significantly to the creation of the Declaration included Canadian John Peters Humphrey of the United Nations Secretariat , Eleanor Roosevelt of the United States ( who chaired the Drafting Committee ) , René Cassin of France , Charles Malik of Lebanon , P.C. Chang of Republic of China ( Taiwan ) , and Hansa Mehta of India among others . While not a member of the drafting committee , the French philosopher Jacques Maritain was influential in the lead up to the drafting of the Universal Declaration , advocacy for it within UNESCO in 1947 - 8 , and in its subsequent advancement .

Bogomolov , Soviet Union Charles Dukes , United Kingdom John Peters Humphrey , Canada The Drafting process ( edit ) John Peters Humphrey was newly appointed as Director of the Division of Human Rights within the United Nations Secretariat . In this role , he produced the first draft of a list of rights that were to form the basis of the Declaration . A portico with four columns , which Cassin saw as a metaphor for the format of his draft The underlying structure of the Universal Declaration was introduced in its second draft which was prepared by René Cassin working from the Humphrey draft . The structure was influenced by the Code Napoleon , including a preamble and introductory general principles . Cassin compared the Declaration to the portico of a Greek temple , with a foundation , steps , four columns and a pediment . Articles 1 and 2 are the foundation blocks , with their principles of dignity , liberty , equality and brotherhood . The seven paragraphs of the preamble , setting out the reasons for the Declaration , are represented by the steps . The main body of the Declaration forms the four columns . The first column ( articles 3 - 11 ) constitutes rights of the individual , such as the right to life and the prohibition of slavery . The second column ( articles 12 - 17 ) constitutes the rights of the individual in civil and political society . The third column ( articles 18 - 21 ) is concerned with spiritual , public and political freedoms such as freedom of religion and freedom of association . The fourth column ( articles 22 - 27 ) sets out social , economic and cultural rights . In Cassin 's model , the last three articles of the Declaration provide the pediment which binds the structure together . These articles are concerned with the duty of the individual to society and the prohibition of use of rights in contravention of the purposes of the United Nations . The Cassin draft was submitted to the Commission on Human Rights and was to undergo editing in the Commission , then in further drafts considered by the Third Committee of the United Nations , and finally in a draft before the General Assembly of the United Nations , which ultimately adopted the Declaration on 10 December 1948 . The vote for the declaration was 48 to 0 with eight abstentions : the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic , Czechoslovakia , the People 's Republic of Poland , the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia , the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic , the Union of South Africa , the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics , and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . Controversies ( edit ) The first controversy to resolve was related to the very origin of the human rights , basically the discussion between the supporters of the concepts of natural rights ( which humans are endowed by God or Nature ) and positive rights ( which humans acquire as a result of a rational agreement ) . The second controversy was basically between the positions of the Marxist theory of the Soviet Bloc and the liberal theory of the Western World . In philosophical terms , the Soviet Bloc criticized the individualist stance of the issue , arguing in favor of the collectivism approach , where the rights of the collective dominate that of an individual . In political terms , the Soviet Union and its satellites , facing mounting accusations of human rights violations ( and defending itself in the `` And you are lynching Negroes '' style ) , argued that the declaration is a mere formality if it would not consider guarantees of economic and social rights . However these objections were of surprisingly little consequence , because the Soviet Block was not very active during the seating of the Commission , perhaps indicating a preestablished decision not to sign the Declaration . Another issue is the legal status of the declaration . The majority considered the document to be mainly of moral character . At the same time some participants argued in favor of adding certain legal aspects in terms of international law . British representatives in particular were extremely frustrated that the proposal had moral but no legal obligation . ( It was not until 1976 that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights came into force , giving a legal status to most of the Declaration ) Udhr timeline ( edit ) Source : United Nations Year Book 1948 - 1949 , pp. 524 et seq 1945 ( edit ) United Nations Conference on International Organization , San Francisco 1946 ( edit ) 15 February , Establishment of `` Nuclear Committee '' of Commission on Human Rights . 29 April - 20 May 1946 - First Meeting of the Nuclear Committee . 21 June 1946 - The UN Economic and Social Council adopts terms of reference of permanent Commission on Human Rights 1947 ( edit ) 27 January - 10 February - First Meeting of the Commission on Human Rights , Lake Success , New York .
