It wasn't until after the cruelties and injustices that took place during the Second World War, however, that that it was decided that protection of human rights should be an international concern.1:18
On December 10, 1948, the United nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights UDHR in New York.1:32
It has 30 articles and protects the right to life, work, housing, free thought, and many other things.1:43
Since 1948, nearly every country in the world has signed one or more agreements designed to protect the rights in the udhr.1:52

Here are some simplified examples of some of the articles in the Declaration of Human Rights.2:35
