About the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.
Australia helped to write this document. Australia signed this document and subsequent treaties. The head of the UN at the time of the document's signing was Australian. This is our Declaration!
This year is the 70th anniversary of this document!
