Summary
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was passed by the UN General Assembly and assented to by the nations of the world in 1948. It represents a remarkable global consensus on human rights, and although some of its wording may now be open to re-evaluation, and certainly its articles are not by any means universally adopted in practice, it still remains the international human rights document with the greatest moral force. From the point of view of this book it is a key reference for all social workers.
