Pick of the Day: the 10th December – Ad of Human Rights

Declaration of Human Rights was established by UN General Assembly on the 10th of December 1948just after the end of the WW II. In 1950 this date was officially announced to be the Day of Human Rights.

The Declaration of Human Rights was the result of really hard and long working process followed by development of humanity.

In the middle of the 20th century all countries became witnesses of the fact that one nation established itself a superior race. The leader of this nation was sure that he has a right to terminate everyone who did not belong to his race. It resulted in horrible events which eventually turned into the bloodiest war in the history of humanity. Millions of people died in that war. That is why society was forced to work out and establish the Declaration of Human Rights.

This document was the first evidence that every person has equal rights and freedoms as soon as he was born. The Declaration also prohibits keeping people in caption or slavery. People must never be tortured or offended. The document includes a list of political, civil, social, cultural and economic rights.

Despite the fact that the Declaration of Human Rights is a recommended bill, it is obligatory for all countries which are included in UN.
