| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. The Declaration has been translated into at least 375 languages and dialects. 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 to. 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. This book studies Universal Declaration of Human Rights including free will, moral universalism, right to life, freedom from discrimination, right to a free trial, freedom of movement, right to work, and equal pay for equal work.
