He was a founding member of numerous movements including Liberty and PEN International - the world's oldest human rights organization - and his Rights of Man laid the groundwork for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

He was, in Bertrand Russell's words, 'an important liberator of thought and action'.
