U.N. Declaration of Human Rights

The U.N. Declaration of Human Rights is a set of fundamental principles adopted in 1948, outlining the basic rights and freedoms that all people are entitled to, regardless of nationality, race, gender, or background. It emphasizes rights such as life, liberty, equality, freedom of thought and expression, and protection from discrimination and abuse. While not legally binding, it serves as a global standard to promote dignity, justice, and equality, encouraging governments and societies to respect and uphold these rights for everyone.
