The UDHR was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 and was forged by representatives of different legal and cultural backgrounds from all the globe. It is a milestone document in the history of human rights and have sacramented, for the first time, fundamental rights to be protected all over the world.

At a time when we are faced with so many human rights violations, we hope that this publication be useful to students and legal professionals, and also to the lay public.
