Our political life rests on the assumption that we can produce equality through organization, because man can act in and change and build a common world, together with his equals and only his equals”.
Hannah Arendt, The Perplexities of the Rights of Man (1943)

Critically analyse the development of international Human
Rights protections relating to equality and freedom of speech during the 20th century and beyond, in light of the statement above, citing relevant academic commentary, legislation and case law.

You could consider the progress of equality and free speech as separate entities. You could explore the separate notions and look at how the areas have developed, again linking back to the quotation, academic commentary and any relevant legislation.
