It was crafted by a UN committee led by Eleanor Roosevelt and was adopted as Resolution 217 during the General Assembly's third session on 10 December 1948, at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. Out of the 58 member states of the United Nations at that time, 48 were in favor of the declaration, none opposed it, eight abstained from voting, and two chose not to participate in the vote.
