Activity 2: Concept Notes (15 mins)

What is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of
human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all
regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly
in Paris on 10 December 1948 by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) as a common standard
of achievements for all peoples and all nations.

Since its adoption in 1948, the UDHR has been translated into more than 500 languages – the
most translated document in the world - and has inspired the constitutions of many newly
independent States and many new democracies. The UDHR, together with the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols (on the complaints
procedure and on the death penalty) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and
Cultural Rights and its Optional Protocol, form the so-called International Bill of Human Rights.

Take Note: Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December. It sets out, for the first
time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.

Be noted further that the General Assembly is one of the six main organs of the United Nations,
the only one in which all Member States have equal representation: one nation, one vote. All
193 Member States of the United Nations are represented in this unique forum to discuss and
work together on a wide array of international issues covered by the UN Charter, such as
development, peace and security, international law, etc. In September, all the Members meet in
the General Assembly Hall in New York for the annual General Assembly session.

The UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS or

UDHR as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every
individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching
and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national
and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the
peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Classification of Human Rights

1. According to source
• Natural or moral rights – God-given rights and acknowledged as morally good. Natural
rights are moral rights that humans have because of their nature, or in virtue of being human.
Natural law is the law of natural rights. Right to life, liberty, and right to property are examples
of natural rights.
• Legal rights- are those bestowed onto a person by a given legal system (they can be modified,
repealed, and restrained by human laws).

Sub-Classifications of Legal Rights

o Constitutional rights – guaranteed in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.
o Statutory rights – rights promulgated by the legislative department of the Government.

2. According to aspect of life

• Civil rights – these are rights that are being enforced at an instance of an individual for the
purpose of securing them the enjoyment of happiness. These rights guarantee the security
of people against States’ agents in abusing the exercise of the States inherent powers: police
power, eminent domain and taxation.
• Political rights – are those rights which enable everyone to participate in running the affairs
of the government either directly or indirectly.
• Economic, social and cultural rights – these are rights of the people for self-determination,

State.

Take Note: Civil and political rights form the original and main part of international rights. They comprise
the first portion of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (with economic, social, and cultural
rights comprising the second portion). They ensure one's entitlement to participate in the civil and political
life of society and the state without discrimination or repression.

3. According to derogability
• Non-derogable or Absolute rights – rights that cannot be suspended nor taken away nor
restricted or limited even in extreme emergency and even if the Government invokes national
security.
• Derogable or Relative rights – these are rights that can be suspended or restricted or
limited depending on circumstances – for preservation of social life.
