On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations
               adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights .
Here are some fragments from it.

PREAMBLE

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity
       and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family
 is the foundation of freedom, 
justice and peace in the world, 

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith
            in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person
                           and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined 
to promote social progress
                                             and better standards of life in larger freedom, 

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance
