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 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) 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.

FairPlanet is committed to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Respectively our content is indexed to these fundamental rights to display, track and defend their relevance in today's world.
