Some 56 years have elapsed since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 10 December 1948. The Declaration was one of the first major achievements of the United Nations, and after 56 years remains a powerful instrument which continues to exert an enormous effect on people’s lives all over the world. The adoption of the Universal Declaration stems in large part from the strong desire for peace in the aftermath of the Second World War. The document has been described as a Magna Carta for all humanity owing to its focus on the universality, indivisibility and interrelationship of all human rights. Over 300 translations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are deposited at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Türkçe
