HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

By

According to the National Day Calendar today is:

Human Rights Day

on December 10th annually seeks to honor the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

 

Representatives from different cultural backgrounds from all over the world drafted the UDHR. Once the United Nations formed, it was one of its first significant achievements. The UDHR contains a preamble along with 30 articles that discuss specific human rights. The entire document discusses universal values for all peoples and all nations.

Some of the rights discussed include:

Right to:

  • equality
  • life, liberty, personal security
  • be considered innocent until proven guilty
  • marriage and family
  • own property
  • rest and leisure
  • education

Freedom from:

  • discrimination
  • slavery
  • torture
  • arbitrary arrest and exile

Freedom to:

  • belief and religion
  • opinion and information

Another right, freedom from the state or personal interference, protects all the other rights.

Many of the promises included in the UDHR have yet to be realized. However, the document has stood the test of time. The document’s importance empowers every human being in the world. Along with empowering individuals to stand up for their own human rights, it seeks to enable them to stand up for the rights of others.

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY HISTORY

On December 10th, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This milestone document proclaimed the inalienable rights that every human being is entitled to. These human rights exist regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, opinion, origin, or another status. The UDHR is the most translated document in the world. It has been translated in over 500 languages.
