1948 Legislation

In 1948, significant legislation included the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations. This document outlined fundamental human rights that should be universally protected, establishing rights related to freedom, equality, and justice. It was a response to the atrocities of World War II, aiming to ensure dignity and respect for all individuals. Additionally, in the United States, the National School Lunch Act was enacted to provide nutritional support to children, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of health and well-being in education. These laws marked important steps towards promoting human rights and social welfare.
