Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) refers to global proclamation specifying the rights of individuals. It is the primary international expression of the fundamental/inalienable rights of members of the human race.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is an international document that states basic rights and fundamental freedoms to which all human beings are entitled.

The Universal Declaration of Human rights was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization on December 10, 1948. The Charter consists of thirty (30) articles on Human Rights. It also has core freedoms.
