December Highlights

Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adoption.

On December 10, 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration contains 30 articles outlining the basic rights all humans should have.

“Human rights have the power to unify us at a time when we need to come together to contend with the existential challenges we face as humanity." -- UN Human Rights Chief, Volker Türk.
