Universal Human Rights Day

[Hina 11(MISS Einstein)]

Today is 10th December,for a long time being celebrated as Universal Human Rights Day.The reason behind it is that it was the same day of 1948 in which the stats especially the major powers joined together to come up with certain Universal Declaration to provide protection to human beings all around the world as it was considered to be the major requirement and the dire need especially after the disastrous war, which affectd huge number of population.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. The Guinness Book of Records describes the UDHR as the "Most Translated Document" in the world. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are entitled. It consists of 30 articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions and laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols.
In 1966 the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights; and in 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill took on the force of international law.

The Great day without the implimentation of any of its Article indiscriminately and Muslim states are the biggest sufferers in this respect....
