The Universal Declaration of
Human Rights (UDHR) is a historic document that was adopted by the
United Nations General Assembly at its third session on 10 December
1948 (Resolution 217) as a common standard of achievements for all
peoples and all nations. Of the then 58 members of the United
Nations, 48 voted in favor, none against, eight abstained, and two
did not vote.
The Declaration consists of
30 articles affirming an individual's rights which, although not
legally binding in themselves, have been elaborated in subsequent
international treaties, economic transfers, regional human rights
instruments, national constitutions, and other laws.
