ABSTRACT
On December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was officially adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. This was a landmark document that brought human rights into international law. The Declaration consists of a preamble and 30 articles that affirm fundamental rights and freedoms to all peoples and all nations. The field of human rights is defined by three domains of rights: (1) civil and political rights; (2) socioeconomic and cultural rights; and (3) natural world and the right to work (IFSW, European Region, 2010).
