Foreword

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

remains as relevant today as it was on the day in

1948 that it was proclaimed and adopted by the

United Nations General Assembly. The extraordi-

nary vision and resolve of the drafters produced

a document that, for the first time, articulated the

rights and freedoms to which every human being

is equally and inalienably entitled.

Now available in more than 360 languages, the

Declaration is the most translated document in

the world — a testament to its global nature and

reach. It has become a yardstick by which we

measure right and wrong. It provides a founda-

tion for a just and decent future for all, and has

given people everywhere a powerful tool in the

fight against oppression, impunity and affronts

to human dignity.

UNITED

NATIONS

The commitment of the United Nations to

human rights stems from the Organization’s

founding Charter. The international community

has a duty to uphold and defend these rights. Let

us ensure that those people who most need their

rights protected are made aware that this Decla-

ration exists — and that it exists for them. Let us

each do our part to make these universal rights

a living reality for every man, woman and child,

everywhere.

| U n i v e r s a l D e c l a r a t i o n o f H u m a n R i g h t s |

In perhaps the most resonant and beautiful

words of any international agreement, “all human

beings are born free and equal in dignity and

rights”. The commitments made by all States in

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are

in themselves a mighty achievement, discredit-

ing the tyranny, discrimination and contempt for

human beings that have marked human history.

The Universal Declaration promises to all the

economic, social, political, cultural and civic

rights that underpin a life free from want and

fear. They are not a reward for good behaviour.

They are not country-specific, or particular to

a certain era or social group. They are the inalien-

able entitlements of all people, at all times, and

in all places — people of every colour, from every

race and ethnic group; whether or not they are

disabled; citizens or migrants; no matter their sex,

their class, their caste, their creed, their age or

sexual orientation.

Human rights abuses did not end when the Univer-

sal Declaration was adopted. But since then, count-

less people have gained greater freedom. Violations

have been prevented; independence and autonomy

have been attained. Many people – though not all

– have been able to secure freedom from torture,

unjustified imprisonment, summary execution,

enforced disappearance, persecution and unjust

discrimination, as well as fair access to education,

economic opportunities, and adequate resources

and health-care. They have obtained justice for

wrongs, and national and international protection

for their rights, through the strong architecture of

the international human rights legal system.

The power of the Universal Declaration is the

power of ideas to change the world. It inspires

us to continue working to ensure that all people

can gain freedom, equality and dignity. One vital

aspect of this task is to empower people to demand

what should be guaranteed: their human rights.

This booklet constitutes a modest but significant

contribution to that work.

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and

of the equal and inalienable rights of all members

of the human family is the foundation of freedom,

justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human

rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have

outraged the conscience of mankind, and the

advent of a world in which human beings shall

enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom

from fear and want has been proclaimed as the

highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled

to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against

tyranny and oppression, that human rights should

be protected by the rule of law,

Declaration of

Human Rights

Whereas it is essential to promote the develop-

ment of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in

the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental

human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human

person and in the equal rights of men and women

and have determined to promote social progress and

better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves

to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations,

the promotion of universal respect for and obser-

vance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights

and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the

full realization of this pledge,

Now, therefore,

The General Assembly

proclaims

this Universal Declaration of Human Rights

as a common standard of achievement for all

peoples and all nations, to the end that every

individual and every organ of society, keeping

this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive

by teaching and education to promote respect

for these rights and freedoms and by progressive

measures, national and international, to secure

their universal and effective recognition and

observance, both among the peoples of Member

States themselves and among the peoples of

territories under their jurisdiction.
