Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) Part 2

This Course Covers the Second 10 Articles in Detail i.e Article 11-20.

Human rights are fundamental rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. They encompass a wide range of freedoms and protections, including the right to life, liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, and the right to work and education. These rights are universal, inalienable, and indivisible, meaning they apply to everyone, cannot be taken away, and are interconnected.

Core Principles:

Universality: Human rights apply to all individuals everywhere in the world.

Inalienability: No one can be deprived of their human rights.

Indivisibility: All human rights are equally important and interconnected.

• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the UN in 1948, is a landmark document that outlines the fundamental human rights to be universally protected.

• The UDHR, along with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, forms the International Bill of Rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, was the first legal document to set out the fundamental human rights to be universally protected. The UDHR, which turns 75 on 10 December 2023, continues to be the foundation of all international human rights law. Its 30 articles provide the principles and building blocks of current and future human rights conventions, treaties and other legal instruments.
