The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It outlines fundamental human rights that should be universally protected, emphasizing the dignity and worth of every individual. The declaration consists of 30 articles that cover various rights, including the right to life, liberty, and security, as well as freedom of expression and education. The UDHR serves as a common standard for all nations, guiding governments in the promotion and protection of human rights. It has inspired numerous international treaties and national laws, influencing global human rights movements and organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
