Categorization

• XREF: Connects to Western legal-history canon — Magna Carta (1215), US Bill of Rights — and the debunked claim that human rights originated only in the West.
• QUESTION: Worth verifying the historical source and transmission of the Manden Kalikan’s text, which is oral-tradition-derived before UNESCO recognition in 2009.
