The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a historic document that was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at its third session on 10 December 1948 as Resolution 217 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. Of the then 58 members of the United Nations, 48 voted in favor, none against, eight abstained, and two did not vote.
The Declaration consists of 30 articles affirming an individual's rights which, although not legally binding in themselves, have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, economic transfers, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The Declaration was the first step in the process of formulating the International Bill of Human Rights, which was completed in 1966, and came into force in 1976, after a sufficient number of countries had ratified them.
UDHR and how it has impacted Indian Constitution and has been a constant inspiration for the judiciary to ensure the widest possible interpretation of constitutional provisions specifically those related to human and fundamental rights.

The Need for Culturally Competent
Health Care
Cultural competence in multicultural societies continues as
a major initiative for business, health-care, and educational
organizations in the United States and throughout most of
the world. The mass media, health-care policy makers, the
Office of Minority Health, and other Governmental organi-
zations, professional organizations, the workplace, and
health insurance payers are addressing the need for individ-
uals to understand and become culturally competent as one
strategy to improve quality and eliminate racial, ethnic, and
gender disparities in health care. Educational institutions
from elementary schools to colleges and universities also
address cultural diversity and cultural competency as they
relate to disparities and health promotion and wellness.
Many countries are now recognizing the need for
addressing the diversity of their society, including the
client base, the provider base, and the organization.
Societies that used to be rather homogeneous, such as
Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Korea, and selected areas in the
United States and the United Kingdom, are now facing sig-
nificant internal and external migration, resulting in eth-
nocultural diversity that did not previously exist, at least
not to the degree it does now. As commissioned by the
U.K. Presidency of the European Union, several European
countries—such as Denmark, Italy, Poland, the Czech
Republic, Latvia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway,
Finland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Belgium, Greece,
Germany, the Netherlands, and France—either have in
place or are developing national programs to address the
value of cultural competence in reducing health dispari-
ties (Health Inequities: A Challenge for Europe, 2005).
Whether people are internal migrants, immigrants, or
vacationers, they have the right to expect the health-care
system to respect their personal beliefs, values, and
health-care practices. Culturally competent health care
from providers and the system, regardless of the setting in
which care is delivered, is becoming a concern and expec-
tation among consumers. Diversity also includes having a
diverse workforce that more closely represents the popu-
lation the organization serves.
Health-care personnel provide care to people of diverse
cultures in long-term-care facilities, acute-care facilities,
clinics, communities, and clients’ homes. All health-care
providers—physicians, nurses, nutritionists, therapists,
technicians, home health aides, and other caregivers—
need similar culturally specific information. For example,
all health-care providers engage in verbal and nonverbal
communication; therefore, all health-care professionals
and ancillary staff need to have similar information and
skill development to communicate appropriately with
diverse populations. The manner in which the informa-
tion is used may differ significantly based on the.

Forced migration has accompanied persecution, as well as war, throughout human history but has only become a topic of serious study and discussion relatively recently. This increased attention is the result of greater ease of travel, allowing displaced persons to flee to nations far removed from their homes, the creation of an international legal structure of human rights, and the realizations that the destabilizing effects of forced migration, especially in parts of Africa, the Middle East, south and central Asia, ripple out well beyond the immediate region.
The Right to Culturally Sensitive Health Services for Refugees and IDPs, Jana...LIDC
Janaka Jayawickrama, of the University of Northumbria, spoke about the right to culturally sensitive health services for refugees and internally displaced peoples. He stressed that the right to health pledged in international documents, as well as rights to basic sanitation, safe water, housing, food and nutrition, refer to concepts which are understood differently between cultures, and that universal provision may therefore not be as straightforward as it seems.
