UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS <br />On December 10,1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and <br />proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which <br />appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon <br />all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be <br />disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other <br />educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries <br />or territories." <br />. . . I: <br />Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all <br />members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, <br />Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have <br />outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall <br />enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the <br />highest aspiration of the common people, <br />Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to <br />rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of <br />law. <br />Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations, <br />Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in <br />fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights <br />of inen and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life <br />in larger freedom, <br />Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United <br />Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental <br />freedoms, <br />Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for <br />the full realization of this pledge, <br />Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL <br />DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples <br />and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this <br />Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for <br />these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their <br />universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States <br />themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction. <br />
