After thousands of years of social and political evolution, humanity has now reached a stage where human rights are regarded as the minimal requirement for the constitution of any progressive country.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a landmark in international law that was adopted in 1948 by the United Nations following the atrocities of World War II. It serves as a foundational and universal document aimed at safeguarding human dignity and ensuring freedom and equality for all individuals, regardless of race, religion, gender, or geographical location, at both national and global levels.

The declaration provides a shared legal framework for government legislative and policy-making bodies and creates a global pledge to prevent the violation of fundamental human rights.
