In exploring the "constitutionalization" of these rights, Dr. Borgwardt helped looks at how the Bretton Woods Charter (1944), the UN Charter (1945), and the Nuremberg Charter (1945) emerged from Roosevelt and Churchill's earlier proclamation much as the Constitution evolved from the Declaration of Independence."
