Declaration of Human Rights
The Declaration of Human Rights is a declaration adopted on December 10, 1943 by the United Nations General Assembly. The idea of a declaration outlining basic human rights was aroused after World War II. During the Second World War, many individuals such as the Jews were mistreated resulting in human rights to be established in order to protect such individuals. Thirty articles are consisted in this Declaration each protecting basic human rights needed for an adequate living. The authors of the Declaration of Human Rights are the Drafts Committee chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt, who was famously known for her human right's advocacy.
The Guinness Book of Records describes this Declaration as the "Most Translated Document". The legal purpose of this document is to provide humans all around the world with "fundamental freedoms" which are outlined in the preamble.
