Summary
Th e acceptance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1948, was viewed as the first step towards the formulation of an international bill of rights. The drafting of a universally applicable document on human rights was seen by the newly established United Nations as one of its most important duties. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was subsequently adopted on 10 December 1948 by the General Assembly with no countries opposing but with eight abstentions.
