Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration was adopted by the General Assembly as Resolution 217 on 10 December 1948 in Palais de Chaillot, Paris, as the third United Nations General Assembly was held there . Of the then 58 members of the United Nations, 48 voted in favour, none against, eight abstained and Honduras and Yemen failed to vote or abstain.
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.
