70th anniversary Universal Declaration of Human Rights: What went wrong? #HumanRightsDay
Human rights or human wrongs. Today is the day that the UN adopted
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. “All human beings are
born free and equal in dignity and rights.”Born after the ashes of World War II and established to ensure that a Holocaust would never happen again, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will turn 70 today.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.
