Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Guide marks

Summary/Abstract: Life has shown that the 62 years since the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights increased and strengthened the force of the message conveyed by this exceptionally important document, conceived to consecrate an ideal shared by all nations, the foundation on which the edifice of human rights has been built. The viability of this document is also proved by the fact that it is a starting point for the internationalization, after the Second World War, of human rights, the Declaration remaining the final aim of the efforts taken by the international community, the States and the civil society, an aim to which mankind tends to come closer and closer. The provisions of the Declaration were thus reiterated in international treaties, constitutions, unilateral declarations or conventional documents, by which the States affirmed their will to comply with it. In this way, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights served as the foundation for an entire system of treaties, at world and regional levels, as well as the infrastructure of this system, consisting of institutions and mechanisms, with a strong impact upon the national systems, both at institutional and at legislative level.
