UN Human Rights Day: 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

UN Human Rights Day



The Universal Declaration of Human Rights turns 70
Let's stand up for equality, justice and human dignity


Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December – the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This year, Human Rights Day marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a milestone document that proclaimed the inalienable rights which everyone is inherently entitled to as a human being -- regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. It is the most translated document in the world, available in more than 500 languages.
