About : 

  • The General Assembly of the United Nations had adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948 with the objective of achieving the common standard of rights for all peoples and all nations. The achievement of that ideal depends on the common endeavour of every individual and every nation for the promotion of respect, observation and recognition of the rights enshrined therein. This day is being celebrated as the 30th Anniversary of that declaration.
