World Conference on Human Rights

The World Conference on Human Rights was a global gathering held in Vienna in 1993, bringing together representatives from almost every nation to discuss human rights issues. Its goal was to promote awareness, cooperation, and commitments to protect fundamental freedoms and rights—like freedom of speech, equality, and dignity—for all people worldwide. The conference underscored that human rights are universal and interconnected, emphasizing the importance of governments working together to ensure respect and justice. It also produced a declaration reaffirming these principles and setting a shared vision for advancing human rights globally.
