Course Culminating Activities
• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted
by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948, was the
result of the experience of the Second World War.
• With the end of that war, and the creation of the United
Nations, the international community vowed never again to
allow atrocities like those of that conflict happen again.
• World leaders decided to complement the UN Charter with a
road map to guarantee the rights of every individual
everywhere.
