Op 6 januari 1941, tijdens een van de donkerste dagen van
de Tweede Wereldoorlog toen de democratie in het grootste
deel van Europa zwaar onder vuur lag, riep de Amerikaanse
president Franklin D. Roosevelt zijn landgenoten op om de
Verenigde Staten te helpen een wereld te grondvesten op
basis van vier essentiële menselijke vrijheden: Vrijheid van
Meningsuiting; Vrijheid van Godsdienst; Vrijwaring van
Gebrek en Vrijwaring van Vrees.
