Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a global document adopted in 1948 that outlines the fundamental rights and freedoms every person is entitled to, regardless of nationality, race, or background. It includes rights such as the right to life, freedom of expression, education, and fair treatment under the law. The UDHR aims to promote dignity, equality, and justice worldwide, serving as a common standard to protect individuals from abuses and ensure basic human needs are met. While not legally binding, it strongly influences international law and national policies to promote human rights globally.
