On December 10, the international community celebrates Human Rights Day. On this day in 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first universal international human rights act.
In 1950, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 423 (V), calling on all states and interested organizations to establish December 10 of each year as Human Rights Day.
The purpose of the proclamation of this day is to draw the attention of "people all over the world" to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common ideal for all peoples and peoples.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes a wide range of political, civil, social, cultural and economic rights.
It is included in the Guinness Book of Records as a document translated into more than 400 languages and dialects, which indicates its universal nature and the extent of its distribution.
Although the Declaration is not a binding document, it has contributed to the introduction of more than 60 human rights instruments that have formed a single international standard in this area.
On its basis, the development of other international agreements was carried out. On December 16, 1966, the UN General Assembly adopted the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which entered into force in 1976. The four international instruments concluded under the auspices of the UN (Universal Declaration of Human Rights; International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; Optional Protocols to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) are often called the International Bill of Human Rights ( International bill of human rights). On the basis of these international documents, the UN Security Council can apply coercive sanctions against those regimes that allow clear violations of human rights.
Compliance with the adopted pacts, conventions and treaties on human rights is monitored by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the decision to establish the mandate of which was taken in 1993 in Vienna (Switzerland) at the World Conference on Human Rights. The High Commissioner submits reports to the UN Commission on Human Rights, and through the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) forwards them to the General Assembly. The High Commissioner must take action against serious human rights violations and take preventive action.
The adoption at the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights of the Vienna Declaration and Program of Action marked the beginning of new efforts to protect and promote human rights. The Vienna Declaration and Program of Action enshrined the universal nature of human rights and the need to combat all forms of racism, discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance. The documents also emphasize the rights of women, children, minorities and indigenous peoples.
The general level of cooperation between states in the field of human rights is complemented by a regional one, which makes it possible to take into account the political, historical, cultural, economic features of the region and reflect all this in the adopted documents. These include, in particular, the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the 1961 European Social Charter, the 1969 American Convention on Human Rights, the 1981 African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, and the 1994 Arab Charter on Human Rights.

Such discrimination is any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference, the purpose or effect of which is to destroy or violate the equality of relations in the field of education based on race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinions, national or social origin. , economic situation or birth.
The development of the concept of human rights has led to the fact that the rights of the child have been singled out in a special category. In 1959, the United Nations adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which proclaimed social and legal principles relating to the protection and well-being of children. In November 1989, the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention contains 54 articles that take into account almost all aspects related to the life and position of the child in society.
All its provisions boil down to four requirements that ensure the rights of children: survival, development, protection and participation in society.

This prize is awarded every five years on the anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was first awarded in 1968.

To add grief!
