the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights

The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights is a set of principles that recognize the inherent dignity and equal rights of all people. Adopted in 1948, it outlines fundamental freedoms such as the right to life, freedom from torture and slavery, and the right to education, work, and participate in government. Its purpose is to promote fairness, protect individuals from abuse, and ensure everyone is treated with respect and justice, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or background. It serves as a guiding standard for countries to uphold human dignity and fundamental rights worldwide.
