For the first time, the specific content of human rights was systematically put forward in the international scope.
1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which systematically put forward the basic contents of human rights and the goal of world unification for the first time, and became the first international declaration on human rights and freedoms formulated by the organized international community. The preface reads as follows: In view of the fact that recognizing the inherent dignity of all members of the human family and their equal and inalienable rights is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, and in view of the fact that ignoring and insulting human rights has developed into barbaric atrocities that defile human conscience, the arrival of a world in which everyone enjoys freedom of speech and belief and is free from fear and want has been declared as the highest aspiration of ordinary people. Whereas it is necessary to protect human rights through the rule of law and promote the development of friendly relations between countries, and the peoples of the United Nations have reaffirmed their faith in the basic human rights, human dignity and value and the equal rights of men and women enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, and are determined to promote social progress and improve living standards in larger freedom, and whereas all Member States have pledged to cooperate with the United Nations to promote universal respect and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, Moreover, a universal understanding of these rights and freedoms is essential for the full realization of this commitment.
