| 2609 Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 28 |
Posted on 12.06.2016, 10.05.2017
The term "human rights" was mentioned seven times in the UN's founding Charter, making the promotion and protection of human rights a key purpose and guiding principle of the Organization. On 10 December 1948 the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which arose directly from the experience of the WWII and represents the first global expression of what many people believe to be the rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled.

| 3044 Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9 |
The Declaration consists of thirty articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, economic transfers, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. UDHR, together with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols form the International Bill of Human Rights, which in 1976 took on the force of international law.
