The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with diverse legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected, and it has been translated into over 500 languages.
As a Dialog Society, we would like to remind that “All people are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
We are committed and will remain engaged in human rights, including by speaking out for those in need, promoting justice for all, and ensuring that human rights are integrated throughout the work of the United Nations.
This is the path to a world of peace, dignity, and opportunity for all.
