international bill of rights

The United Nations, established after World War II, aims to maintain international peace and security and promote respect for human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948, is a foundational document outlining civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights for all people. It serves as a common standard, though it is not a legally binding treaty. The UDHR, along with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, forms the core of the "International Bill of Human Rights." The UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights works to promote and protect these rights globally.12345
