“Adopted by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was the result of the experience of World War II. With the end of that war and the creation of the United Nations, the international community vowed never again to allow such atrocities to happen. World leaders thus decided to complement the UN Charter with a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual – the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”
