Every year on December 10th, people all across the world observe Human Rights Day.

Every year on December 10th, the international community observes Human Rights Day. It honours the day the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first worldwide enunciation of human rights and one of the first significant accomplishments of the nascent United Nations, was adopted and proclaimed on this day in 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly. When the General Assembly passed resolution 423(V) on December 4, 1950, at its 317th Plenary Meeting, it officially established Human Rights Day and invited all of its members and other interested organizations to observe it as they thought proper.
