The UDHR, which was adopted sixty years ago by the United Nations General Assembly, may have had more impact on mankind than any other document in modern history. It has been published in more than 300 languages and is known to people in all nations. Its principles are echoed in the constitutions and laws of more than 90 countries.
The Declaration has become a beacon of hope for those who aspire to a world where every woman, man and child is treated equally and with dignity. Visionary, yet fundamental, its universal goals and principles are able to inspire people worldwide, from individuals who have barely heard of it to people whose lives have been devoted to translating the Declaration’s messages into reality on the ground.
