The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a pivotal document in the evolution of human and civil rights. It comprises 30 articles that outline an individual's basic rights and fundamental freedoms, emphasising their universal nature as inherent, inalienable, and applicable to all people. The UDHR was adopted as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, obligating countries to acknowledge that all humans are born free and equal in dignity and rights. This principle applies irrespective of factors such as nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status.
