The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a landmark document in the history of human rights. It was drafted by representatives of different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world and adopted by resolution 217A(III) at the General Assembly meeting in Paris on 10 December 1948. As a common achievement of all countries and all peoples, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights stipulates for the first time that basic human rights should be universally protected. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been translated into more than 500 languages. It is generally believed that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights inspired and contributed to the signing of more than seventy human rights treaties. These treaties became the enduring foundation of human rights law at the global and regional levels (both refer to the Declaration in their preambles).
