Question

Which World War II event inspired the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights? the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan the invasion of Poland the Holocaust

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The Holocaust

Explanation:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights or UDHR was a document signed in 1948 in France, approved by the majority of the members of the United Nation. This document contains 30 different articles related to human rights including the right to life, the freedom of speech and thought, cultural rights and other basic individual rights that served as a basis for the International Bill of Human Rights.

This declaration was the result of the atrocities that occurred during the Second War World as the nations involved in the war realized previous declarations and agreements signed to protect the individuals were not enough as these have been widely vulnerated, especially in the German Holocaust in which millions of Jews were killed and the right of life, freedom, dignity, and others were vulnerated. Thus, the event during World War II that inspired the most to the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights was the Holocaust as during this event the rights of the millions of individuals were vulnerated in multiple ways and therefore a new declaration was needed

Answer 2

It was primarily the "Holocaust" that inspired the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, since this was indeed one of the most severe human rights disasters in history.
