Week 3 | Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

In 1948 the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This for the first time formally outlined what human rights were. The concept of Human rights usually refer to those rights that society has agreed to be fundamental to people everywhere, such as the right to life, the right to live without oppression, and the right to equal freedom of opportunity, this came into force after some of the worst events following the Second World War. Since then many institutes have been formed to protect the rights of individuals. The other institutes which are also in place are, the European Union was originally the EEC which was formed in 1957 and NATO an organization to protect the international community. All these institutes work together to make sure that individuals are treated equally without any discrimination, however, this concept does not always work in some countries as they have different beliefs and values.
