Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos

The Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) is a document adopted by the United Nations in 1948 that outlines the fundamental rights and freedoms all people are entitled to, regardless of nationality, race, or background. It includes rights such as equality, freedom of speech, education, and protection from torture. The declaration aims to promote respect for human dignity and ensure that governments uphold these rights to create fair, just, and peaceful societies worldwide. While not legally binding, it serves as a moral standard and foundation for international human rights law.
