Universal declaration of human rights. Ediz. multilingue

The "Universal declaration of human rights" was approved by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It was a historic event: for the first time, the international community was taking responsibility for the defence and promotion of specific rights, regarded as the basic elements of human coexistence. The UDHR offered a new perspective, establishing defence of human rights as central to the pursuit of a world free from fear and based on justice, and establishing the indissoluble link between respect of human rights and the very survival of mankind.
