Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
Pen-Chun Chang, Charles Malik, and Eleanor Roosevelt initiated the draft of the UDHR with a working group of diplomats.
No nations officially voted against the adoption of the UDHR, though 8 nations abstained. Those nations were “Czechoslovakia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, the Soviet Union, Byelorussia SSR, Ukraine SSR, and South Africa, Yugoslavia. Honduras and Yemen.” They did this because they thought that the Declaration did not go far enough and they wanted to protect human rights adequately.

The UN, people who made it, and the nations who agreed to it had this responsibility for all the rights on the UDHR. This responsibility came from the ideas/rights that came out of the UDHR.
The issues that were being addressed were forced labor and imprisonment, such as slavery, provision of aid to people who want to go to school, state laws that deal with voting and elections, and negotiating peace between two warring nations.
The development of the UDHR took place during and after World War II. The UDHR final draft was completed in Paris. The ideas that were used in the final draft were made from all around the world.
The UN wanted to accomplish the adoption to recognize human rights to be the foundation for freedom, justice, and peace. Before the UDHR was established, the world marked IN all humans as being free and equal, regardless of sex, color, creed, religion or other characteristics. After the UDHR though, the world marked OUT all humans being free and equal, regardless of sex, color, creed, religion or other characteristics.
