• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a landmark declaration that declares that everyone has intrinsic rights as a human being, regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinions, national or social origin, property, birth, or other position.
• It is the most translated document in the world, having been translated into over 500 languages.
• This year’s Human Rights Day theme relates to “Equality” and article 1 of the UDHR – “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”.
• The principles of equality and non-discrimination are at the heart of human rights.
