Universal Declaration of Human Rights turns 60

10 December 2008

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) turns 60 on 10 December 2008. It was the UDHR, almost 60 years ago, that first recognized what have become nowadays universal values: human rights are inherent to all and the concern of the whole of the international community. Drafted by representatives of all regions and legal traditions, the UDHR has stood the test of time and resisted attacks based on “relativism”. The Declaration and its core values, including non-discrimination, equality, fairness and universality, apply to everyone, everywhere and always. The UDHR belongs to all of us. read more on SAA's work on human rights
