What is the Universation Declaration of Human Rights?
The Second World War was the deadliest in history. Some 70 million people died, including 50 million civilians. Nazi Germany exterminated some six million Jews – two-thirds of the European Jewish population – who were systematically persecuted, rounded up, their property looted, and forcibly deported along with other minorities considered undesirable, to die in concentration camps. Civilians were bombed. Countries were invaded and their citizens made to work as forced labour. There was mass rape, killing and destruction.
Struggling to emerge from such inhumanity, and with the United Nations taking over from the discredited League of Nations that had failed to stop the war, world leaders said “never again”. They decided to complement the UN Charter with a set of principles guaranteeing the rights of every individual everywhere.
