The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 10 December 1948, in response to the “barbarous acts which […] outraged the conscience of mankind” during the Second World War.
The list of 30 human rights provide the foundation for freedom, justice and peace in the world, and form the basis of international human rights law.
