“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is an international document adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948 in the Paris Chaillot Palace. It is the result of the first experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of the inalienable rights that citizens of the world have. In the preamble to the Declaration, governments undertook to ensure the universal and effective recognition and observance of the human rights set forth therein. This document consists of 30 articles, which formed the basis of an increase in the number of national laws, in particular, normative legal acts of Ukraine” – the teacher said while reporting.
