But International Human Rights Day, celebrated on Dec 10, reminds us that it wasn't so long ago that the world came together to do exactly that. On Dec 10, 1948, the United Nations unanimously adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a set of rights to which all individuals are entitled. Rights such as being free from torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. Rights like freedom of religion or belief. The freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly. The right to form and join trade unions. Under the UDHR, every human being in the world can claim these as their own birthright, no matter their citizenship or allegiance.
