Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a historic document that was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at its third session on 10 December 1948 as Resolution 217 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. Of the then 58 members of the United Nations, 48 voted in favor, none against, eight abstained, and two did not vote.
Natural law
Because of the intersection between natural law and natural rights, natural law has been claimed or attributed as a key component in the "United States Declaration of Independence" (1776), the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen" (1789) of France, the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (1948) of the United Nations General Assembly, as well as the "European Convention on Human Rights" (1953) of the European Union.
