The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of what many people believe to be the rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. The full text is published by the United Nations on its website.[1]
The Declaration consists of thirty articles which, although not legally binding, have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, economic transfers, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill has become an international law, to be followed by all.

The Declaration establishes rights such as the right to life, liberty, security and equal protection under the law for all people without discrimination. It also protects rights to nationality, marriage/family, religion, opinion/expression, work and education.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes fundamental human rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being, including the rights to life, liberty, freedom from slavery and torture. It declares that all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The Declaration also guarantees civil/political rights like freedom of speech and religion as well as economic/social rights like work, social security, education, and an adequate standard of living. It calls for all nations and people to promote and protect these universal human rights.
