Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a global document adopted in 1948 that outlines the fundamental rights and freedoms every person should have, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or background. It includes rights to life, freedom, education, and fair treatment under the law. The goal is to promote dignity, equality, and respect for all people, helping to prevent oppression and injustice worldwide. While it doesn’t create laws, it sets important standards that countries are encouraged to follow to ensure fair treatment for everyone.
